Collecting to make a profit on retro consoles and games is not really a wise investment. No one really get rich off of collecting. If you had a complete NES SNES N64 collection with every single game and other releated items. You would really be hard pressed to find someone to buy it off of you and make a profit. It is not like you could sell your collection a Christy's Auction House.

This is partly what raised my query. A friend is collecting just rare titles and we were discussing the possibility of it becoming worthless through variables over time.
I collect for a few consoles mainly Sega and my earliest system I collect for is Master System. While home video game consoles are only a few decades old and most collectors are inspired and driven by their youth or nostalgia, I was wondering about what will happen when future generations loose that connection.
Will older consoles loose interest and prices fall? I personally dont care for Atari and mostly only older people collect for it. I know some people far younger than myself collect SNES, so I wonder where the future will go regarding price and interest.
If your picking it up and playing a bit and then putting it in sleep mode and playing some more, The battery last for ages in sleep mode. And listening to music will let you get more hours out of it than just playing games. I like having both handheld and charge one while playing the other.
