Uummm... okie dokie. Why aren't we asking about bingo? Thats pretty important to the world of game development.

So who gets the jump on the " 10 year " PS3 lifespan? Will there be a market for "over the hill" gamers on the PS3? Extreme free cell perhaps?

So there's essentially a console for each generation? Interesting. The old stereotypes about what constitutes the "typical gamer" are definitely falling apart.

Damnit my idea for a knitting and antique shopping MMO thwarted! CURSE YOU GAMASUTRA!

Although...a Martha Stewart MMO...hmmmmm

I wonder if these numbers are the result of the PS3 being the best and cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market.

Generally speaking, The older a demographic is, the more they have to invest in entertainment. Since they are coming towards the end of the mortgages, most likely have paid for their cars and generally are in a position where they can afford more luxuries.

Its pretty tough for a kid in elementary and middle school to convince their parents for a 400 dollar system. Especially when the Wii tends to have the franchises that are loved by children.
Kids know Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon. The High school, college, and grad audiences grew up with those franchises and has moved onto more hardcore games.

Many of my friends still cannot afford a PS3 because they have too many other expenses to deal with.

These numbers make complete sense.

It would have been interesting to see the average age bracket for PC gamers.
