Most of us grew up in a generation where home gaming systems were completely new to us. It was amazing being able to play videogames whenever we felt like it. I think the early consoles moved so fast forward in terms of quality. We were in the middle of the tech revolution. Things moved so fast, we went from the NES, to SNES, and Genesis very quickly from Atari and Intelevison. Games were getting better at an extremely fast rate. Then the PS1 released and revolutionized games. Throw in the Dreamcast, and PS2 and Xbox. It was a whirlwind.

We have been in this gen for almost 7 years. The longest time before new systems have been released. You would expect to see sports games like Madden to have taken a huge leap. I am not saying Madden 12 is bad. I haven't even played it. (except the demo) But with tech the way it is today, it just seems like madden hasn't been able to keep up with it. I have no idea why but I don't see that changing this gen.
