Reply #113: "the average gamer is 35" oh puh-lease

[Divine Discontent]

when there's tens of millions of teens who play xbox360, Wii, and PS3, the average gamer isn't going to be 35! I had to comment and say I read nothing further because of the obvious idiocy of the report by the CDC. I go to into GameStop infrequently, I'm one of the only adults in there when I visit - it's usually packed with 15 kids and 2 or 3 adults.

I know dozens of people my age who are way too busy to play games, I do, but not a 'gamer', by any means.

Their 552 people surveyed sounds like a misrepresentation of who actually would be called a 'gamer'. Just because grandma & grandpa play a few times a month with the Wii their kids bought them for Christmas doesn't mean they're 'gamers'.
