| Words Of Wisdom said: Give some examples of games for "older owners" on other consoles please. |
To be honest I don't think the PS3 or 360 has much either nor do they have that much of an older audience - especially 360. PS3 will get some with blu thought.
Buzz, Singstar, C&C3, Scene It although I must admit I never played any of those. I'd love to say Mass Effect but to me at any rate, by turning it more into a shooter they lowered the age appeal. Really PS3/360 are all about the 15-35 yr/old market.
Some of this market is new (retired crowd) and for others the other gaming system would be PC (or maybe 2600 or so). PC game makers have long been shooting themselves in the foot by chasing high-end graphics beyond what the mass market owns so it's really killed itself except for games that appeal to those willing to shell out for high end systems (FPS, etc).
The only thriving game market for 40+ is flash games and maybe WoW. Women 40+ are the biggest user of flash games and such.
But RPGs, RTS, Strategy, story-based games, puzzles, arcade and SIMs are missing big time and those would have more appeal with this market too.
