    It absolutely is.

    As a kid, everyone’s parents (boomers) called NES cartridges “tapes”. Considering their generation had a lot of experience with 8-track, cassette, and VHS/Betamax, it kind of makes sense. I guess every generation has this.

      Yea, for my dad, everything you use a controller with is a PlayStation and every handheld is a gameboy. Funnily enough, he never had either one and I also didn’t have a PlayStation until I have moved out. The only noteable difference for him is the Sega Master System, because he did have that as a child.
