The way you write I am pretty sure I could probably be your dad.
How many people you see collecting mikiphones or even have an interest in them wahtsoever? Is ebay-pricing a representation of the actual worth of such a machine? Even so, is being a collectorfag only about the money?

If we are talking about old toys in general most of them were made of wood or metal, not using flimsy laser technology which broke more than enough in the recent time of usage. Also, the old toys you just could use without any requirements, where as consoles and games need a lot of peripherals which makes a tad bit harder to get working.

I did not say that all of them will be dead, but there is a counterprocess between progression of new technology in relation in usage of old technology with each new decade. IF you believe that disc rot is real (which is the topic) and have an interest in actually playing the games and not hoarding them like stamps, the there will be other means to play the games in the coming future. If it is only about collecting and preserving the price, the market would get flooded with old, working technology as well as many units being destoryed over the years. Demand will plummet for this though as nobody in 70 years will setup a crt with rf to nes connection to play mario other than doing a history yahootube video about it. This is a nostalgic bubble we are living in (specifically /vr/), keeping the standards is Mostly based on nostalgia-values (comfort plays a really big role, path of least resistence). There will be very select few in the future who will imagine the same way of collecting like many do here today.

>tl;dr
Either way, disc rot should not be an issue. Either it doesn't exist, or you will be able to rebuy the CD for a cheaper price in the future when people sell of collections
