That doesn't mean she couldn't play something on a console and enjoy it. That's exactly the flawed viewpoint I thought I detected in that quote and considered talking about-- contrary to what some people think, even console games in general have been built up in reputation now to the point that people who are out of the loop can be intimidated to the point they don't want to try (and yet people complain about the super-casual gamers playing little web games and stuff overtaking the market for "real" games). This image isn't helping gaming (and neither are some of the attitudes).

You cannot fall off the floor.
