I didn't have a console until I was in my late teens and that was a 
intellivision, which has a completely different type of controller (and 
pretty awkward for at least half the games.), and I didn't play it that 
much.  I never owned a nintendo until we got a used gamecube maybe 10 
years ago.  I did get a playstation 2 about 15ish years ago, but I was 
well into my 30's by then.  I did play a lot of video games at the 
arcade as a young whippersnapper, so maybe that had something to do with it.
