I don't know that there is a misconception as to the age of Nintendo gamers in general. I have seen some people in their teens/early 20's who are fans of an XBox or Playstation say that Nintendo games are for kids, but I don't think that is the view of the general population. It's also definitely not true, as the demographic is pretty similar for all systems. Nintendo tends to have more kids playing, and more older people, while Xbox peaks with above mentioned teens and college kids and PS3 has a mean age slightly older than the 360 but a similar demographic. Wii's mean age is the oldest, but it's just a broader selling system to all ages.
My perception among my friends was that kids pick up Nintendo games, old core gamers like me pick up Nintendo games that they've been playing since the 80's, girls like a good round of mario, families have them for the whole group to enjoy. PS360 seemed to be more narrowed to an activity that just the guys did, usually the 16-26 demographic, with some older like me. |
Wrong.

LMFAO!!
Check your sources. First, those studies are from over 5 years ago, before the vast majority of console owners bought their consoles. Second, Sony pegs the average PS3 user at 28. Do you seriouly think the AVERAGE XBox user is in their 40s? Come on man!! Think before you link! That "study" is a joke.
