Huh.

My father would disagree.

Well, we're getting to the time when the generation of early gamers are starting to become parents themselves. That probably throws off the results when the parents themselves play games.


Also, why does that boy have a pink DS?

That's what I said when I initially saw the article. Poor kid.

I was thinking the same thing as well (on the pink DS) and I would think they would show a picture of someone playing a Mircosoft product....

A lot of my friends that I know played games as kids have past down their old systems to their kids. I plan to do the same, starting with NES and so on.

Ohoho... if I ever have kids, I'm starting them off with NES, then building them up through SNES, N64, Gameboy, etc. I want them to have an appreciation for future modern technology.


And a love of old classics.

Actually, I'd do the same thing, Peardian. But I'd do it out of a more "Here, try this control scheme first, it's the easiest." view. They'll gain the love of the classics and such over time.
