I've heard a few instances of youngsters heavily into this stuff, but TBH the vast majority are dudes in their mid 20s to late 30s as far as those collecting everything from NES forward. I don't know if I'd say this is something that kids are going to pick up and feel the same about as the older crowd. Sure, they might like the games. They'll appreciate the value of a classic. Maybe they'll emulate, or some other more convenient and modern method of playing them. But going as far as to collect hundreds of original cartridges and CDs of games they've mostly never heard of that were made long before they were born? I kinda doubt it. There are plenty of late adopters to the trend, but they mostly fit the profile you'd expect. I'm sticking to the theory that having any affinity for physical media, or classic game consoles cuts off at a certain point in time. Probably around the time of those who first played games during the 6th gen, maybe 7th. Kids who are about 10-15 years old now, probably aren't going to be nearly as interested in retro collecting, and will probably think we're crazy for not just downloading, or more better yet streaming whatever games we want to play. I also have to agree with Biking on notion that eventually, common titles should loose steam because everyone who wants one will have it. If prices ever decide to come down, it will probably be commons and popular games first. |

Nintendo are moving onto their 7th generation of consoles. There's never been cheap Nintendo games for more than a generation transition on any of these 6 systems. Atari was always worth Ugandan toilet paper after the crash. |

Is Ugandan toilet paper worth significantly less than toilet paper elsewhere? AFAIK they don't just give it away. You'd think it would be higher than usual given that Uganda is not a major player in the production of TP. |
