Computer games.

Well as per the bad actor thread, your first point may be moot! The biggest issue I see myself is people growing up wanting to be YouTubers and thinking they can get famous just by playing a game, and not necessarily even being good at it. Much like many in today's society already expecting things handed to them, and lowering the bar even further from wanting to be a pop-star/footballer!

I'm not even sure the majority aspire to even this, I think they just enjoy following their celebrity.

There's a youtuber/letsplayer i stumbled upon called Cryaotic, he doesn't show his face but has a reasonable speaking voice and humour. The weird thing is that almost every comment on his playthroughs reference him and his personality, rather than anything about the actual game he's playing. It's very affectionate.

It's like the youth are actively looking for role-models. Did we do this at the same age? Don't quite remember it being like that.

Looks alright that Nintendo Switch thing to be fair.

It's what the Wii U should've been really. It was quite disappointing to see current Wii U games being played on it.

Just hope into doesn't turn into a Wii U 2.0

If they get the pricing right, it could take off.

Red Dead 2 and a new Zelda to look forward to next year. All I need now is a Last of us 2 and I'll the happiest gamer alive.

I didn't expect to be saying this, but the concept behind that Nintendo Switch has blew me away. It's a stroke of genius.

They really need to put Pokemon on that ASAP.

Battery life for it concerns me.

Definitely losing the 2 detachable controller bits on the side a concern for me!

Was about to write the same thing. Big HD screen like that's gonna need a lot of juice.

Agreed, but if they can manage even 2-3 hours off charge then it's done the job. It's not like a phone - it's meant to be a console that can be portable when needed for short periods.

The bigger question is whether it can be AC charged when portable (so plug in on a train). That would make the battery life question irrelevant.

I want one of them badly. New Zelda, Super Mario and Mario Kart
