Playing games with friends has never been more popular. I guess couch co-op has been replaced with online multiplayer. The assumption being that if you want to play with friends, they'll have their own device.

But there's still plenty of couch co-op games. They're usually quite niche though and not your typical racing or shooting game.

We ended up hooking up my old N64 and playing Goldeneye

What's the point with a console then though?
