He means consoles that didn't really have an OS, they just boot straight into whatever game you have in the console at that time. Such as the N64.

one game.

we can now instantly start dozens of games.

But don't you miss the simplicity of getting up and walking to the shelf and taking the game out of the package, walking back to the console and just pop it in and play. And if you want to play a different game you just make a simple repeat of the same procedure.

Simple and easy.

Who says you can't still do that if you want to?

No, today everything is just too complicated. With all these consoles with their fast install times, easy to access internet without getting up and patches and DLC that enrich the gaming experience.

Just completely awful today.
