I was barely able to talk when I played my first console, and that was the Atari 7800. It was quickly replaced when I was able to form a sentence that expressed what a piece of crap it was to my parents and I wanted a Nintendo instead.

The TC must be like at least 35+. Atari 2600 is f'n ancient!

Lol no! Your off by about 20 years! I was born a little after the SNES came out. But I spent most of my early childhood on the Genesis and NES and didn't get a new system till the PS1 came out.

 I just like talking about older systems :P

Yep...did you miss the TC's point of his post? He was using this as a way to show you that PS3 is trying to do everything to win, but is still losing...Intellivision = PS3. Wii = Atari 2600. Get it?

No, it was more of a bash on everyone:

Controller/Intellivoice = Nintendo

All the add-ons = Sega/Microsoft (to a lesser extent)

Entertainment Computer System = Sony

Graphics = Microsoft/Sony/PC

Graphics were always important. It was always understood that a new console had to have better graphics. The Wii is the first console to introduce "graphics don't matter". This is totally new to the history of system wars.

actually the "graphics dont matter" argument came into play with the invention of handheld videogame systems.  Now we take handhelds for granted, like their some kind of exception, which is ludicrous. 

edit: although its a first for system wars forums online
