If people still use the Wii in 10 years it will be because of the games
being fun, not because of the controller. I still fire up my Playstation 1
even with the dated graphics because the games are fun, same with my C64.
How many people bother with the 3DO these days after the CDROM gimmick got
old?
Exactly. I still regularly play games on my SNES, Megadrive and Nintendo 64
(among others), usually every year or so. Of course, there comes a point
when you have too many games, so you can't play them all regularly. I
usually just play the games that are fun, or I have the fondest memories of.
I always end up going back to classics like Cannon Fodder, Lemmings and
Tetris. Some games never get old :)
