Can't disagree with that. I'm struggling to see how there's a big market of people who want to collect physical games for a wide variety of systems, but not the consoles themselves.

For those with the physical games they also probably want genuine/1:1 playback. There are a number of FPGA based options now that provide a near perfect original experience but with modern options.

I really like the modular idea but the actual play experience looked horrible and the cartridge/controller modules are expensive.
