Yeah sure, you do know that the Gameboy was also targeted at adults right?

And about 40% of the users in the NES/SNES Generation were adults, in-case you didn't know this was before the PS1.




The difference here between Nintendo and Sony is that if you remove Sony from gaming history its likely it wouldn't make much of a difference to the overall number of people gaming. However remove the SNES, Gameboy, Wii, DS and there would have been a noticeable drop in the number of people who play games.

Sony was simply in the right place at the right time.

Yeah, that's probably why they named the console Gameboy.

 

And do you have any tengible data to support this 40% number of yours?  In case you didn't know, assumptions don't make for very good facts.

As we all know, the WonderSwan was created by Bandai to target the lucrative waterfowl market.

Nintendo said it themselves. 

Unless they made up these statistics.

I read what you wrote as if you were saying it was aimed at adults.  As it, only aimed at them.

The console was made for kids first and foremost.  That commercial was indeed to try and make the system appeal to adults.  But doesn't say the console was created with this target in mind.  Especially with a name like this.

Now what do you make of this 40% assumption of yours?

I just meant that it was also targeted at adults, not just kids.

In the video they say that they found 40% of the users to be over 18. I'm not trying to assume anything, sorry if it looks like I am.




Gaming, for better or worse, has been at least somewhat legitimate since the days of Atari. Sony simply expanded the gaming audience with the PS1 and PS2. The industry is certainly better off with Sony around, but it's not like gaming was a dying industry at the time.

"now were seeing about 40% of the users are adult over 18 and about 30% of the users are female its no longer a boy toy its a form of entertainment" another sony lie shot down by nintendo... 20 years before sony even thought up the lie.
