I quit playing consoles when the Nintendo 64 came out. Its controls were too hard for me when I tried to play Mario 64 at Target
so I quit playing consoles forever. I only play handheld games so it's nice to see the games being played. I'd never play them.
Plus since I was a kid, I've enjoyed watching my friends play more than actually playing myself.
I've enjoyed watching Nintendo 3DS game playthroughs and even bought a couple of games after watching said playthroughs like Animal Crossing New Leaf and Miitopia.
