@FullMetalWesker agreed, MS and Sony have been on 7 year cycles the last 2 generations and Sony has long tails as their older systems get released and sold for at least 5 additional years in markets like Brazil even as a new generation is available.
Already pre-ordered. Great lot of games in that small package. Shame they couldn't add any sports in there, that was the true differentiator between the Genesis and the SNES. It was the place to play Madden and NHL.
Things age out over time, it’s just a reality. I have my old Atari VCS system and a few games still but I don’t even have a tv to play it on any longer. It’s just sitting taking up space in a box in my basement. Along with my old TI-99, C64, Genesis, Super Nin, etc. and a few games for each. I had already sold off a bunch of it at a few garage sales over the years. It’s too much. Video tapes, DVD’s, etc, it’s just clutter now. I don’t want disks or carts buried in various corners of my house. After cleaning out my parents’ house after they passed away, I knew I didn’t want clutter any longer. They had nowhere near the amount of stuff as I do now and it was still onerous to plow through. And you know some of these things are just buried being untouched, for what, to potentially come across them years later, have an AHH moment, playing them for a few minutes (assuming you still have the outlet to do so), and then tuck them back away into obscurity taking up space again? No more. The older you get, the more you appreciate trying to keep clutter in check.
