I don’t have a gaming console right now, and I haven’t owned one since 2004. But I’ve owned four: a Super Nintendo, a Sega Genesis, a Nintendo 64, and a PlayStation 1.
I used to play video games a lot when I was a kid. When I was 14, I basically stopped playing them.
It was partly because I didn’t have my gaming console (my PS1) with me after I’d moved, but it was also because my motivation to play video games had simply vanished. I just didn’t think about them anymore. And, for a while, I didn’t even notice I had stopped playing them (despite the fact that playing video games had been one of my favorite pastimes since I was 7 or 8).
In late 2008 or early 2009, I bought a copy of the computer game The Sims Life Stories. And I played that game – and only that game – frequently during my summer break from college in 2009.
The last time I played a video game on a gaming console was in 2010 or 2011. If I remember correctly, it was on a PlayStation 3.
I don’t plan to buy a gaming console (for myself, that is) at any time in the future. However, I do want to buy a decent desktop computer at some point, so I can play The Sims games.
