You guys really underestimate emulators. What they can do is absolutely impressive. PS2, GC and Wii run FLAWLESSLY if you have the specs (which are not that high). Emulators are the one thing that'll keep old games so that future generations can play them. They're preserving gaming history.

Nintendo systems last pretty damn long.  I'm sure there will be many NES that can still play in 2060.

Eh, I think you're overestimating the consoles' durability. And even if they do, they'll eventually brake, and that's the point. Emulators make sure these system's library will last forever.

And I didn't even talk about the games themselves no longer working. Or maybe rare games, that have become ridicuously expensive (Panzer Dragoon Saga comes to mind).
