It's currently 2023 and time feels like it's flying by so fast:
The Nintendo Entertainment System came out September 27, 1986. That was 37 years ago.
The original PlayStation came out December 3, 1994. It's 29 years old and next year is the 30th anniversary.
The Sega Dreamcast came out September 9, 1999 in the USA. That's 24 years ago and next year is the 25th anniversary.
As time goes on it's likely only going to get harder to find these systems as they'll likely eventually stop working and get thrown away, get misplaced/destroyed, etc...
20 years from now it will be 2043... The NES will be 57 years old, the PlayStation 49 years old, and the Dreamcast 44 years old. Do you think nostalgic collectors in the future will want these old systems and pay a significant amount of money to track them down? Do you think they produced so many of them that they'll never actually be rare or more sought after? Or will people simply not care and only want the latest & greatest?
What are your thoughts about the future of classic videogame consoles, NeoGaf?
