“All work and no play” makes for a dull life. Work nd then sitting around like a lump with the TV on, or off isn’t play. Video gaymes, especially in the winter can and will help fulfill ones play requirements.
There are no shortage of games or systems out there. However, there has not been much innovation with Microsoft or Sony as of late.

Nintendo has a Wide Range of Both Game and Console Product
Are you feeling nostalgic or interested in Nintendo product you’ve never played? The NES and Super NES have been re-released with games pre-loaded. Unfortunately, the original game cartridges do not work on those re-release consoles. One of us here has a Super NES re-release. It and the NES re-release display in high def.

As for long term style and product life-cycles, on a long enough timeline, what was old becomes new again.
