With this record there's no way I'm ever going to own a current gen console. I'm still ashamed to own a previous generation PS3, even though I'm finally getting some regular use out of it as a Netflix player.

I kind of covet the Nintendo Virtual Console because I just can't be bothered to deal with emulators anymore, and because the selection is dismal on the PlayStation. I kind of wanted a Wii a little while back, but they are region locked, and no longer play GameCube games, so I just forgot about the whole idea.
Still Nintendo is the only responsible party here. I'd probably be doing good to replace the PS3 with a Wii U for watching Netflix, but I don't know where I'd put the thing, and its probably two or three times more expensive than what I'd be willing to cough up for it. Consoles are pretty much dead to me. And I don't think I'm alone (for a change)
