Reader Discussion: What Was Your Favorite Game Console Launch?
As the circle of console life begins once again, we look back and ask you to share your favorite platform launch stories.
There’s a special kind of excitement for gamers about a new console launch. The months of anticipation combine with the excitement of finally witnessing the new technology and games – plus, it’s a shared enthusiasm for the next generation of games that we can all chat about with each other, whether we’re getting the new systems or not.
What has been your favorite console launch? Did you ever sit outside in the cold for hours to be there for a midnight launch? Get a long-anticipated new console for a birthday or Christmas in the weeks after they all sold out at launch? Or maybe you have a story of disappointment, where a new console didn’t turn out how you hoped?
Share your console launch stories in the comments below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
