| The Mr Endiadi said: I think that when ps1 entered the market, the videogame started to change, to become more adult. After 12 years in which the game industry moved towards the range of 20-40 years old (thanks to ps1, ps2, dreamcast and xbox), ninntendo company has created a console for all those gamers (children, women, casual gamers) that did not feel reflected in that previous market. And maybe this is one reason of its succcess. |
I think it is more of a case where the people who played NES when they were 5 back in 1985, would now in 2008 be 28 years old.. or those who started further back and were 5 when Atari 2600 was around in 1977 would now be 36 years old.. i think that is the best explanation for the current age of gamers, because ps1 seriously did nothing special to attract [new] people older than those who first played on atari and nes
