I don't think it's fair to say consoles 'die', they merely go into retirement from being sold! As long as there's electricity, then we all can play wonders from the past, but do we?
I was thinking 'why does everyone say Dreamcast is dead?'. when it clearly isn't - there's only around 7million, but that's enough consoles to continue making games for, but there re a lot of consoles that have clearly gone under the water and haven't yet risen.
Where's your MasterSystem/Nes? What adventure is your MegaDrive?SNES on? is everyone REALLY using their Saturn's as a doorstop? I don't think so. Maybe, just maybe, you've placed them where no one can see them, perhaps in the loft or in the freezer (maybe not...), but when you think back to the games that you were playing on these old formats, it's clear that the gameplay surpasses anything today!
Go on, take out space invaders! Wipe the dust off you Amiga or Commadore; find that Sonic game from your Master System (oh wait, it was built in!)! I think it's a crying shame that we should be expected to be playing 'modern day' machines, yes they are also very good, but many lack originality. The best ideas are the simplest, and so Pacman should be played by everyone, right now! The trouble with new games is that many consist of mindless shooting and stabbing and fightin - sure that's fun, but with games like Lemmings and Pac-Man and alike, you can actually be learning when you're playing, and that in my view is a good thing.
Anyway, get Sega Rally out once more and beat my challenge time of 50.12 seconds on the desert track with the Lancia Stratos, be the first person to complete Pac Man and then take a picture of the final screen - what ever you do, just don't ignore the old ones - they're the best.

If you have a few old Nintendo consoles then you will know that there are those split aerial wires which allow you to just flick a switch to get back onto TV.
If you keep all of them and keep all the connecting wires you can network your consoles to the same TV even if they are other companies like Sega, Sony and Nintendo.
