not really. the kids get their parents who are 20-40's to buy them games/consoles and in much higher amount then a working professional who can't game 24/7.

I buy WAY more games now than I ever could have hoped to be bought for me as a kid. 20s-30's persons without kids are most definitely the biggest buyers of video games. All of my friends who now have kids buy a lot fewer games than they used to - even counting the ones they buy their kids.

Yeah me too. I had to beg, beg, beg to get new games when I was a kid. Barely convinced my parents to get a Super NES because we already had an NES too. Had to basically wait until birthdays and Christmas time to get anything. Once I got my own job even in my late teens, I'd buy what ever game I wanted when ever I wanted it. 

The amount of games I had for N64 versus SNES doubled and it wasn't because I liked gaming more, it was because I could buy games for myself. Not only that I had a second console too (Playstation), which in my SNES days would've been unthinkable. I remember one kid on our street had a SNES and a Genesis and it was a big deal, lol.
