People who have played games all there life might be good but I hate it when someone thinking there better cause they used to like the old games. They get thrashed cause they dont know how to use a controller 'oh know this pad has four buttons arrrgghhh'
Really. I'm a part of that 'older generation', and I went perfectly with the change. Same with my friends and their parents. You should stop generalizing statements. Assumptions can lead to misunderstandings as well as unwanted arguements and debates. Generations now some sociologists say that they vary every 4 years now. What would be better for defining your generations is cut them down to every 4-5 years.

0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, and so forth. I believe that would settle more things down. I was considered a gamer as a toddler. Sure it was Atari 2600, and I beat my parents at frogger at the age of 2. That takes difficulty. That was when there was difficulty in games.
