My issue is that it's silly to get insulted over a company not targeting you. Commonly senior citizens don't play video games, so Sony doesn't target them. Yipdee shit. I'm a white guy from Wisconsin, if I'm not targeted by some company because statistically speaking I'm not one to commonly use their product because of who I am what do I care?
edit: and he's not even just insulted, he's decided that this is a life changing moment where he'll never buy their products again and is going to try and rile up more people using a magazine. Don't you think that's overreacting a tad, even if we assume you're right and there is something to be insulted about there?
double edit: I'll take the idea a bit further. In my opinion it's people's inability to deal with the mildest comment that has turned this society into a bunch of PC bullshit. He said the truth, his company isn't trying to get Senior Citizens into gaming. It might have been a needless and stupid comment, but it certainly did not say anything bad about senior citizens, so what is there to be insulted by?

You have to understand older people. My father-in-law (71) is still mad at Sears for something that happened 45 years ago. Not all senior citizens will take issue with that, but I can understand why Grampy is. I'd be pretty annoyed if they said "We don't want 32-year old fathers with disposable income..."

Woah!!!!!!!!!!! "You have to understand older people???" Are you saying all "older people" stay angry for a long time? I know you are not, but I hope you know where I'm coming from. :) Besides, SONY never said that they didn't want "senior citizens" buying the PS3, NEVER.

No, I'm just saying that some people get upset at things companies say. It was a tongue-in-cheek comment. Notice I said that my father-in-law, who is 71, is upset with Sears for something that happened 45 years ago, when he was TWENTY-SIX years old. He obviously wasn't a senior citizen then.
