Why 20 year old gamers are better than 50 year old gamers.

a 51 year old for example would have been around 6 years of age when the famous Atari 2600 came out in 1977 and younger when pong or other earlier consoles came out in the early 70's. So technically they could have grown up with gaming of sorts. Just not as we know it today.

A 51 year old would have been around 12, not 6, when the Atari VCS was released, and even then, they weren't prevalent until the early 80s... Again, a 51 year old wasn't brought up on video gaming, they missed the boat...

Oops! was roughly using by own age to determine the age and ignored to add the difference.  Anyhow to say that it was not as prevalent until the early 80's is a decent argument. Nonetheless there would have been some early adopters who were heavily into the 2600 during the mid/late 70's I would imagine.
