I gave up. And yet I can still plug my Nintendo in and play Mario like it's 1987.

I don't have time anymore to fiddle around with my rig just to get a game to play. Consoles are cheaper and far more reliable (yes, even the Xbox360!).

You seem to have different standards for a PC and a console. . . .

You don't expect a new console to support old console games, but expect a new OS to keep supporting old games.
