A few grandparents may drag up the average age, but the Wii is certainly most popular amongst younger kids. Personally I love movie like acting and deep story telling combined with amazing music quality, I do think a game like Gears of War appeals more to many teenagers, but for example Uncharted is more like a Indiana Jones movie kind of game. Cartoon like games like we see mostly on the Wii appeals to all ages, but the PS3 mostly appeals and sells to adults, according to US research 70% of PS3 owners own a HDTV and has the largest penetration of high def audio setups as well. I think it's unlikely to assume kids have a HDTV and kickass audio setup in their bedrooms. |
a) any data to backup that it is 'certainly most popular amongst younger kids'? my belief is it's mainly 20s/30s/40s
b) 67% of wii owners have an hdtv...that's only 3% less than your blu-ray system...so if u use that logic for ps3 not being owned by teens, then how can u say that it's kids getting wii?
Bets:Missed by 420k I bet leo-j vg$500 that wii will sell 31 million by 7/31/08. Sorry, I don't think he has enough vg$ to make it with all of u that wish you could.
