Is the PCE craze over yet?

[TR0N]

Exactly !!!

Perhaps the Super SD System 3 will take some pressure off longtime fans who migrate to an emulated PC Engine setup. However it will be some time before interest in the system levels off. What would need to happen is an entire generation of kids growing up and saying "Yeah ok, these games are too primitive for me, grandpa" - which most of them already do - AND the old fogies cannibalizing different systems/collections to say "f*ck it; I'm out of the game." The first is more likely than the second.

Yeah I'm waiting on the day for typical collectors to grow cold on the scene. Without any true passion the shelf trophies they've spent house payments on will quit glowing in their eyes and they'll move on.

I’m not holding my breath... there are too many idiots out there... (if only there was a term for folks who buy games but never play them...)

I stopped “really” buying games 13+ years ago (I only buy a handful every year). I am playing more, though, than I used to, so that tells you that I had WAY TOO MANY games myself. Plus, I spent a good chunk of time *trading games*... but, to be honest, trading was a big hassle for me.

You can imagine how I feel about current prices.

OUR GENERATION (we need to figure out the age range) will age into senility... and I don’t expect a *critical mass*  subsequent generations caring enough about the games/era we covet...

 (for “mainstream appeal”... there will always be some fans who appreciate archaic stuff). 

So, we’ll be drooling when the prices are reasonable again.

Oh, and all the plastics will be rotten and metals corroded.
