| JRPGfan said: They dont know any better. Time to educate them, the masses. This is a PS4/Xbox One, this is why you want one instead of a Mobile phone. Lots and lots of marketing. It ll work... it has too, Im too old and grumpy to end up useing a phone as my main gameing fix. |
It's all about perception. This kid sees this kid who sees this kid etc. With MY kid? I started her out on NES games. By the time she was 3, she was beating SMB. When she was 5, she was playing Super Meat Boy. I decided a long time ago that if she showed interest in games, that I was going to start her out on real gaming... not just on things like Uncharted where there's really no consequnces... but REAL twitch based, hard as nail stuff. That's how I grew up in the 80's. All we had were NES games and it made me a much better gamer because of thier difficulty and the whole challenge/reward factor.
Because of all that, she appreciates and loves consoles. She uses her ipad and ipod and does those little crappy time waster games, but when she gets a new game for Xbox or Wii-U? She's PUMPED. So, yeah, what you said IS actually possible. But the problem is, how many parents are like me? Not many. Most don't give a shit about their kids lives enough to invest their own time with them... sadly.
