Not on nearly as much. The level of conversation has deteriorated over the years and the lack of hard sales data (and lots of nifty charts) that were once the mainstays of this site (but now require payment to see) lowers the level of conversation to more fanboyism.

In 2007 it was quite interesting to see how Sony/MS/Nintendo's different approaches to gaming were going to work out. And to see how well Nintendo was able to capture new gamers (like me). This gen really brought consoles away from the sterotype of kids/the nerdy guy playing them in their mom's basement to something anyone would be proud to display in their living room.

As we finally get into the next gen it looks like mass market gaming has now left consoles to tablets/smartphones (smart TVs?) with consoles slowly dwindling down to the old 'niche' market which seems to be reflective of the people here too (with the site becoming more fanboyish).
