"except the demographics of PS2 and Wii owners isn't the same."

Yeah they are. They both target EVERYONE. You don't think there were lots of casuals out to buy PS2 games too?

targeting all ages and women does not mean everyone.

It does. Do you not know what the phrase "all ages" means?

age is a demographic modifier, as in male 20-24, or female 10-15.

However, there are other demographics that, while sharing similarities with age demographics, are independent.

 

For example, if I make a new kind of football helmet, the demographic I target will be team owners. While these team owners are probably male 40-70, my demographic is still "team owners", not "males 40-70", because the majority of "males 40-70" are not team owners.

This is what I mean when I say "targeting all ages does not mean everyone".
