I would like to know how the statistic was made, as 1/7 are a lot of people. If they said "1/7 still play 20th century games" I wouldn't bat an eye, it would be perfectly reasonable. But playing 20th century systems? The last consoles of the 20th century were the PS2 and the Wonder Swan (the GBA released in 2001, so that doesn't count), how many of these retro system are still in working condition? How are the discs and cartridges still working?

My SNES, PS1, and N64 still work just fine. They made things to last back in the "old days".

I know, but how many people would prefer to play them as is, instead of using emulators or ported versions in modern systems/PC? After playing GBA, DS, 3DS and even PS2 and Wii games on emulator on my big screen, I cannot go back to the older systems.
