I find it pretty telling that my kid and his friend where at home playing on the almost 20 year old ps3, with the ps5 right next to it.

To be fair they do fire up the 5 for that soccer game, but I have soo many games in the cabinet for the 3 that it is a goldmine for them

    Good games are good games regardless of when they’re made

    And in one sentence you've completely encapsulated the reason why Nintendo is terrified of emulators.

    And they still remake the same handful of games every couple years. We JUST got a new Mario Party that looks identical to the previous two. The only different ones are probably Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

    I don't think I'll ever understand Nintendo fanboys that replay essentially the same shit with a slightly different skin on it.

    (for the switch)

    The first Mario Party felt like a scam. Such a rip-off.

    The 2nd Mario Party felt like what it should have been all along.

    The 3rd Mario Party should have been a free DLC for the 2nd game.

    Plus, if you can get the right model, you can play PS2 and PS1 games on it. That's a ridiculous library full of hidden gems.

    PS3 is probably the last gen to support a lot of local coop games

    Co-optimous has the best db of co-op features.

    For couch co-op they list:

    These numbers place the PS4 couch co-op library as larger than all the preceding PS generations combined. (At the moment you could group PS5 in with them too but that won't be true for long.)

    Edit: thinking about this a bit more the interesting pattern is that each of PS2, PS3, and PS4 more than doubled their preceding generation's figure. We don't know how long the PS5 generation will stick around but we are probably half way though and its unlikely it reaches 2400 co-op titles.

    Mine play the heck out of the Wii U and the DS. I still am occasionally acquiring and playing a new Vita game almost yearly.

    I now play my Steam Deck most of the time and the PS5 hardly gets touched.

    The Wii U is the last console i bought and i still think it's such a great concept that failed for no real reason. Playing a game on the tv and having the mini map on the controller screen for example is so cool. They could've made so many completely different and new games. But i think it's just that no one really cared

    I think in that case Nintendo was more a victim of its own success and they released the console a little too early. Everyone was still playing wiis back then and there were still so many great games coming out on the Wii.
