15 years old? That makes sense. The Wii and DS are weakest in the high school (13-18) market, so you probably won't see much Nintendo in your age group. That group is owned my Microsoft and Sony pretty solidly. When you go younger and older than that group that's when you will see the Nintendo systems start to own the market.


I agree that 13-18 is a key demographic for sony/ms... unfortunately they (generally) can't afford them :(

Wow, the systems people I know own is like a flip flop of everyone elses, with PS3 owned more than Wii and 360 combined. I should probably point out that we're all 24 - 36 yr old males with a decent amount of expendable income, we're all bankers(not wankers that's different ;) and I think only two of them have kids, but they're both brand new kids and they got their PS3's first, good choice I say, cause both of their budgets got cut considerably.

I live in south-east England (south-east being the richest part of England) and am 15 years of age, if that helps.

15 years too! But Nintendo dominates my area (even 12-18 year old)

I know:

- 12 people who have Wii's.

- 2 people who have a PS3.

- 1 person who owns an X360.

- like 30-50 something people who own a DS (school and friends... and neigbours etc...).

- like 12 people who own a PSP.

I now this might sound funny but I don't know a single kid with a DS and when I ask them why not they all say "cause Nintendo is for kids" But I know about 15 adult age range 21-28 that have DS's. One had a PSP but traded it for a DS. Two of them have Wii's, 2 have 360's and nobody has a PS3.



 

  

 

I know a couple kids with DSs...but those 14 DSs I listed before are all from my friends that are 18-25 years old.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Around me (college kid at a pretty expensive college [i.e, no money for gaming cause we're all heavily in debt ], and I don't really hang out with the gamer crowd):
1 360
0 ps3
not sure of an exact amount of wii, but its at least 6. About 3/4s of the people who had an XBox or a PS2 now have a wii, and the rest of them are looking for one.

2 DS's, including mine purchased for the NYT crossword puzzle game after hearing about it on this site...
0 PSP

Sorry I don't have more info. The gamers I know here play WoW, and there aren't that many of them to begin with.

As you can see from my sig, you can probably tell I dont think much for anecdotal evidence

Anyway, I know 2 people who have 360s, 2 other people who have a PS3 (my brother's friends), and 2 people who have a Wii. Although vitually all of my friends have a PS2, one has an xBox, and one has a Gamecube. Then again, a fair few of the people I know also do a lot of PC gaming aswell.

edit, like SamuelRSmith, I live in the S-E of England, but am 16.  Also I think a few other people have GCs aswell, but mainly cos they're totally biased nintendo fans
