I'm with AlexH on this one.  I love playing old games on my A2000, and have been having a ton of fun with it.  But I have a PS3 and a Wii, and I wouldn't give either of them up to keep the old games...

The Wii is a fantastic console, with some great games.  In my house I've got a SNES, a Genesis (Megadrive to those not in the states), a Dreamcast, a Wii, and a PS3.  The Wii is the only one my girlfriend ever plays.  I'd say of the 'this-gen' consoles, my time is split about 50/50 between the PS3 and the Wii.

Eh?  I'm not sure that copying Sega marketing would have been a good idea.  Genesis/Mega Drive did okay initially in the U.S., when it's only competitors were the NES and the NEC TurboGrafx-16 (admittedly, it mopped the floor with the TurboGrafx), but once the SNES came out, Nintendo kicked Sega's rear in U.S. sales.

Europe is a different story, I guess, with the Mega Drive doing much better (beating?) Nintendo in the 16-bit era.
