@bods, i don't see how purists(or hardcore, hey N made it up) could still be in the 13-18 age bracket? at least not primarily, seems like a pricier game now, there's no way in hell my mom would've spent a grand on my games, hell i'm the one who saved $400 to get a 3DO when i was 13, and my current setup is close to $5,000, not a small ticket... poorer families get PS3/360's, please explain your logic, i can not fix on it.

as for demographics, i believe nielsens had a good breakdown awhile back. and don't automatically assume PS3 users will flame you, this kind of generalisation pisses me off. we're not all blue3...

actually now that i think about it, i guess many spoiled ass kids get these kind of gifts, makes me sick. just look at chad warden =()

 Well the Nielsen statistics say that the average income of households that have Wiis is higher than the average income of households that have PS3s and 360s.

 I think part of this is that poorer people tend to view expensive items as status symbols regardless of their actual worth. Furthermore, the people with the most spending money aren't neccessarily the richest. People who don't save any of their money may end up with more spending money than they know what to do with even though they don't make that much.
