We've seen the same thing happening with Lego games recently, after Sony struck a marketing deal with them. I think Sony's targeted efforts at the "kids" demographic has paid off.

The family or kid market is something I've been keeping an eye on recently. Sony have aggresively saught to corner the JRPG market and I think the family/kid market is next in line, and with Nintendo's shrinking audience it makes sense.

Yeah, I can't help but begin to feel that sony is playing all this down to the T like an evil conniving mastermind. They just seem to be doing all the right things. 

Even the Neo, sony has practically figured out a way to make a console sku refresh and price it again at $400, while potentially being able to have a similar sku that can play the exact same games and  they could price for as low as $199 if they wanted to. Let the kids and those that just want the games spend $20-$250, and those that wanna feel they have the best hardware that PS has to offer spend $200 more.
