"Well, that depends. If you're a more serious gamer you probably want a PS3 or XBox 360, but the next-gen consoles are going to be coming out soon, so you'd be outmoding yourself if you got one of those."
"OK…Isn't the next-gen Nintendo out?"

"No."

"Jeez. You're making this all sound very unappealing."
"Listen, nobody said that trying to have fun was going to be fun."
