well personally I think he must have gotten his 8-9 year olds don't like to ware heavy glasses to watch TV research with the kids like stuff that is in 3D data. And what does the the "largest" demographic of the DS have to do with the success of the 3DS new system new demographics, if little kids don't like 3D then Nintendo will create new markets for the 3DS (not that those new demographics aren't on the DS already). And I don't think all games will be in 3D anyway.

There is no defensible reason for you to dismiss that graph now. The only reason you coul do it now is because it doesn't fit your worldview, which is frankly too bad.

The point has been proven that the implication concerninng the DS's demographic (which was your point even if the PR had nothing to do with that) is fallacious. That's all there is.

i think you have the wrong idea....i could care less if the ds was offered to kids or adults or even plant animals....i just dont like it when someone brings a graph and people instantly believe it, sample and survey details should be taken into consideration...maybe in japan, the demographic is wide, but not in america, and i still believe that if a WW poll was taken, the demographic would be towards an age of <16.....unless someone does it, my views dont change...because we will really prolly NEVER find out, and its sad...cuz i really wanna know lol

Look at the American chart.

More adults than children play the DS.

QED!

Khuutra, I'm a bit surprised you would say this.

Yes, more adults play it, because there are more adults.

The 2 charts combined looks to back up sonys statement of the demographics. Maybe not their statement that those demographics wont play it. That remains to be seen. Maybe 5 years after 3ds launches and we see similiar charts.

 

Hilarious nintendo fans craying over an accurate statement. lol


**you mean the statement that talks about how (almost) nobody is going to get the new 3DS because "8 and 9 year olds" getting 3D is such a crazy idea

**in what way?



Jeez, why is 99% of the threads since the move was announced are all like this =s.
you guys need to relax and get away from the computer stop ripping your hair and drink a cup of tea.

PEOPLE!

Let's stop derailing the thread.
Everyone and their grandma knows DS appeals to a wide demographic, probably the widest ever across all videogame related machines. And definitely to a much, much wider audience than, say, PSP, for example. If one or several individuals don't want to hear that, so be it. Too bad for them, but let's stop trying to convince them with endless arguments, because we all know it's no use talking to brick walls.

Let's all just move on.

i would if people stopped making me look retarted with thier posts..i mean cmon "grasping at straws" ...i really hate it when someone calls someone else an idiot when that idiot is just trying to back up thier reasoning..

*Sigh*

 

Did I call you an idiot? No.

 

Look...basically I'm just surprised why you're denying the fact that the DS has strong appeal to adults too. I mean, the charts are there for you to see. I mean, milkyjoe just saved me some time.

did i say you called me an idiot? but stuff like "grasping at staws" sure makes it look it *other users maybe, dont remember who*.....im not saying that it completly doesnt appeal to adults, but i am saying that those charts dont prove it does

Ok, fine. What will prove it to you then?

 

Edit: I'll have to continue this discussion later if it survives. Need to sleep now.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

QED!

are we looking at the same chart?...i see children much higher...unless ur talking about ALL ADULTS, which is wierd to say since the adult ages are much larger than the child ages

Reading comprehension for the lose!

Only one in this thread who understands the quote so far is zarx. LOL thats pathetic... maybe you guys do understand but want a reason to whine.



So, this will be like when in 2005/2006 they said motion controls were going to fail and didn't think it would be successful....

Move.



I'm really interested in hearing why he doesn't think this would appeal to the 8-9 year old demographic. Why would he say such a thing without a specific reason?



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
