I don't think so, I think gamers are getting older (because our parents and grandparents did not grow up with video games, they are still watching movies though). As the PS3 entry pricing drops, I expect the PS3 to start to feast more on the XBox 360's teen market with a slimline console. Current teens can always graduate towards a PS3.  I think neither console stands a real chance against Nintendo regarding preteens, nomatter how much the 360's pricing drops. It's just not a preteen appealing console (and I think parents prefer their preteen kids to own a console which is dominated by cute gaming).

I think current teens are gonna stay with the Xbox the same way Teens from the PS1 days stuck with Sony all these years. Start when their young and they stay with you forever. Sony's older demographic is also why there has been ZERO cultural movements from their games like Mario Kart, Halo 3, or Gears of War. It takes kids and teens to start a movement
