There are more price points too for people interested in playing games catering to wide spectrum of budgets. Also more devices can play said games than ever before. |
I agree, the biggest difference is the sheer amount of games available to play. When i was a lot younger, we had an atari 2600 and an Intellivision and a coleco vision. There were only a few games for each system. It was even more expensive back then to be a gamer. So we traded games with friends and family to get more choice. Either way, there are more games for either the XB1 or the PS4 at launch than a lot of the systems had in their first year or 2 back then.
Today, gamers can play not only the 10's of thousands of older games that now exist, but they have 100's more each year to play.
This is truly the golden age of gaming.
