What will prove it to you then?

do you really care that much...look ill admit it, the ds has a large demographic...seee, its not that big of a deal, just angers me when people try to make me look stupid when i have my own reasons for something...i mean there is no way to prove the real demographic of the ds, unless  all ds users were taken into account, and i dont think thats gonna happen...so noone is REALLY right or WRONG here

Didn't get the memo? If a executive from company A says something about company's B product it should be taking like serious
business

Yes, I am talking about all adults, which is what matetrs hre - clearly the DS appeals to more adults than it does to children. It's kind of a consequence of appealing to everyone!

The specific reason is Sony's R&D section feeding Sony Corp the data.

It'll be interesting to see whether or not this turns out to be true, though I think Gen 5 of Pokemon in 3D will have a lot to say about the question.

So, implying that the demographics of the DS are narrow is accurate?  When both graphs have disproven it?  When it is the most widely appealing handheld in history?

Well I have been wondering that why they would say it.. and the only answer that I can think of is because Sony's vision on 3d involves 3d glasses and cause little kids can't wear the glasses propely while playing a handheld which you would hold a bit down.. they would slide off.. maybe sony didn't think about 3d without glasses..

lol he said nothing of the sort!

All right look:

Yes, I admit I was rude with my response, and I apologize. But are you telling me you weren't expecting a debate to ensue following your comment? It's pretty debatable, man.

You can't be serious Khuutra!

The DS appears to a larger percentage of children than adults.

If we use raw numbers, yes, more adults will be appealed to the DS, but that's because adults grossly outweigh children.

More adults are not appealed to the DS (in contrast to adults appealed to the DS) than to kids not appealed by the DS (in contrast to children appealed to it).
