I've been gaming since I was a little tyke and my father brought home an Atari 2600, mostly for my older sisters. I took it over almost immediately and never looked back.

When people complain about modern gaming controllers and how they "can't play on the other system because it's uncomfortable," I just laugh. I played Defender on the Atari until my left hand was a claw, Double Dragon on the NES torture device until my thumbs throbbed. Staple some buttons on a rabid weasel and I'll play it.

Resolution? Totally fine with me if it gets better but it's also not something I worry about. It's one of the least essential parts of a game. I'll take Fallout 3, which looked like last gen, over any of the big budget military shooters any day of the week. I simply care about other factors far more. If a game is good, I'll play it and be happy.

I play on a 720 television. If "graphics" never got beyond KZ3 or Halo 4, next gen or not, I would be totally cool with it. I want next gen for other, game-play related reasons.
