you know he was going to turn it into some anti Ninty conspiracy. LOL Whatever he says, its clear that the gamers are picking Sony MS over Ninty and that must have been a LOT of manchildren picking up PS2s

A huge part of the PlayStation 2 audience were people below the age of 18, an age range that gobbles up buzzwords like "mature" and "hardcore".

Or put another way, if the PlayStation and Xbox brands had truly succeeded at selling to adults, then there wouldn't have been such an uproar directed at the Wii.

Playstation 2 sold to everyone. Adults, kids, etc. all chose it over the other platforms. You don't sell 150 million of anything just selling to one demographic in this business. 

Naturally speaking though, the kids who were 8-12 years old when the NES hit it big in the late 1980s were entering their 20s as the PS2 era dawned in late 2000, so I would say the primary audience for the PS2 was 20-somethings. It was just a natural evolution of the marketplace. 

Virtually everyone I knew who was a gamer in their 20s at that time had a PS2. Sony had tremendous brand momentum coming off the first Playstation. 

shhh...stop making sense. It wont work. If he wants to think those sales came from people under 18 let him think that. I mush have imagined my buying a PS2 and all my friends buyting them as well, none of which were under 18. And lets pretend that the DVD feature which an adult would absoulutely care about didnt exist.
