Gaming Magazines... What's the deal?

Whoa!

I was just thinking about that yesterday for a while.  A friend, or acquaintance stopped by, and I happened to be on this site when he said hello.  I showed him this site, told him how it keeps track of all the sales and everything.  He's younger than me, like 16.  He said, "Oh yeah, I read about the sales of the Wii and PS3 in some magazines!  I didn't know they had websites for this kind of stuff."

I talked to him, and it's like he was unaware of gaming news on the internet.  He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but I figured he'd be interested in gaming news online for the fastest info, but apparently he reads gaming magazines and hears about stuff that way.

I guess, for some people, the internet is just for MySpace and Youtube, and they get the rest of their information from watching TV and reading magazines.  Younger teenagers maybe, I dunno...it appears there are still people that don't browse the internet thoroughly.

I see gaming magazines every now and then, and it's interesting to read such info all compiled into a nice, easy-to-read, image-filled format...but it's basically stuff I already know, or perhaps missed while browsing.  For the latest, greatest news, nothing beats the intertubes.
