Hrm... well I've probably rebuilt 50 of them and parted out 100 more that had been badly abused. Those contact rings very rarely broke even when the stick had been beaten to crap.

Obviously wasn't a Nintendo stick...
Wait, does anyone even remember that argument anymore?

Me: "Gramma, want to play Atari with me?"
Gramma: "Uhhh, not right now"
Me: "Pleeeeaaassseee....I've got bowling...you like bowling"
Gramma: "Get lost ya little ---simply the best thing ever---, I got Pall Malls to smoke"
Clearly Atari's marketing was lost on my gramma. :'(

Well that plastic ring was a consumable part! Worn out consumables != broken! Waaaaaaaaah!

Chad, you may still believe TV commercials but if you really think that there were just as many adult people playing 2600's in the day as kids, you must be dreaming.
If I see a kid around the age of my son today, it doesn't take very long and there pops up the DS......it's never a PSX or anything else, it's a DS. It's been like that ever since the GameBOY (Notice the word BOY).....
I do think there are more adults playing DS today then there were playing 2600's in it's golden age but I dare to say that it's at least 70% under 18s that play DS's.

You are the one who brought up the word "aim", not me.

I addressed the marketing aspect of your comment. I haven't said a thing about who was actually using the sticks.
