Is the average buying of FPS's really 39?  That means for every 16 year old I hear on PSN there's some 72 year old out there playing as well.  Yeah I know that's not how the average works but it just seems really high to me.

You'd be surprised, laddie. I have a friends granny that plays SMB3 back in the day. I was a teenager at the time and she was around in her 80's and playing pretty good in her age. She passed away a year ago, God bless her soul, was a sweet lady. So I wouldn't count out a 75 year ol' man (who's been gaming his whole life since the Atari days) playing shooters like this these days...

It may sound absurd, but it's plausable.

yes you knew one gaming granny, but how many gaming teenagers did you know?  I'm not surprised that there are older people that play games, I'm surprised that there are enough to make the average 39.
