This is what got me too. I mean, it's so similar it's sort of... startling!

360: E (18%) E10 (8%) T (32%) M (42%)
PS3: E (18%) E10 (8%) T (33%) M (41%)

That just shows me that the demographic for these two consoles are very similar, and that the Wii's demographic is going to make up for the E/E10 Rating.

As for the Wii, patience young Padawan, as I'll try and do one a day.



It seems that the PS3, much like the 360... Is mainly used by a more Mature audience.

Good news IMO.

LBP2, Gran Turismo 5, FIFA 11, Madden 11 are 4 more titles that will be added to the E rating for sure this year. Along with maybe Need For Speed too.

Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, New Vegas, Assassin's Creed will all add to the Mature.

there will probably be a few more too that i forgot about!

 

Great Thread(s) Smeags!

Nice. I usually don't like too many E-rated games but looking at the ps3 list, even those E-rated games are pretty good. I have to see the 360-list.



Excellent thread smeags! It does seem PS360 userbase have similar buying habits!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Well, it's all about personal preference. So when a guy like me, who doesn't personally go bananas over sports and racing games, sees a list such as that, I'm not too fond of it. But hey, like Carl said, LBP2 is coming soon and that's bound to sell over a million and land its way on the chart. So that definitely makes me little more happy for the PS3 demographic.

Heck, Sonic Super Duper Genesis Collection (forget the name) is a E10 title, and that's gonna be a million seller very soon. And that makes me very happy too.
