If I do get another system, it's going to be Nintendo's. I don't care for what the industry has become (it's too political, games are too incomplete and barely-tested, and there's too much focus on internet connectivity), but at least with Nintendo, those things will be kept to a minimum. The only thing that would give me pause is the fact that they're a handheld-only company now, and I prefer home consoles. That, and my NES, Genesis and Super Nintendo are just so damn good (8/16-bit gaming is my favorite era) at entertaining me.

But we'll see.

What are all these “political” games people keep talking about. I only play Nintendo, so I guess I just haven’t seen. 

Like the TV and movie industry, the game industry is currently infected with people who either think art is an inherent weapon for social change, or art is a chance to convince people that they're on the good side of history, according to them. I don't like that.

As mentioned in another thread, I play games to escape the real world. Mario and Zelda and Sonic let me do that. The rest? Not so much.
