There's no arrogance in the original. A word for word translation of the key passages (yes, I'm fluent in German):
"At the Games Convention, Nintendo sees itself as a motor. 'The gaming market is changing fast,' said Nintendo's German boss Bernd Fakesch one day before the official opening of Europe's biggest trade show for computer and videogames this Wednesday in Leipzig. Especially noteworthy are developments in new types of gaming and new control schemes. Market researchers characterize Nintendo as a key driving force responsible for the brisk development of the market, said Fakesch.
Demographic changes present completely new challenges for the entire gaming industry, explained Fakesch. All in all, 54 percent of the German population is already over 40 years old. It is precisely here that Nintendo's games and consoles have been able to achieve its new targets. Between 2002 and 2006 the number of people over 40 who bought a Nintendo DS have doubled. Nintendo wants to appeal to other target groups, including women and the elderly, with new titles for Nintendo's Wii and DS consoles. The average age of the Nintendo user is already much higher than other consoles, observed Fakesch."
