The RetroBeat: Will we ever feel nostalgia for PS4 or Xbox One?

I was clearing up some clutter this week, and I came across my old childhood TV. This is the screen I had in my room to play games on consoles like the Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and PlayStation 2. Now it’s set back up in my room (my adult one, not my childhood room). It’s even on it’s old TV stand, and I have my Genesis and SNES connected to the old gal.

Seeing that setup filled me with an intense wave of nostalgia. Having the Genesis and SNES connected to a TV in my bedroom again, after all these years, makes me happy. But with new systems on the way, I wonder if today’s kids will ever get as emotional over their PlayStation 4 or Xbox One machines.
