I recently discovered SNES, a machine I ignored when I was younger simply because it was Nintendo. Playing through Super Metroid made me realize it beats most action games released today in atmosphere, controls and music despite it being low-res. Yes, brand loyalty and resolution are two useless reasons to prefer a console over the other. They might be added bonuses and food for a good debate here and there but there are no quality factors within those two that gives us great games.

And you do realize the SNES was the PS4 of its time, right?  And the reason many were getting it was because it was more capable than the NES, do it delivered similar games with better graphics?  And just because people want a more capable current system, doesn't mean they can't appreciate the classics?

What kind of an argument is that?? I just told you I recently discovered the SNES and enjoyed one of its games thoroughly, so what relevance does my enjoyment NOW has as to do with the SNES being the most advanced system THEN? Do you think I traveled back in time when I played it or what? And I am not saying great graphics is irrelevant, but its a useless argument for choosing one system over another. If resolution is he number one reason, why ever get a console, because it will not take long until its beaten by PC or another console. I am thinking that you are creating arguments for argument´s sake.
