The Battle of the Consoles


Check this out....(click thepic to make it bigger).... these stats are quite interesting, especially when compared to how things were 5 or 10 years ago. The video game market place has changed A LOT. The most surprising thing in my mind is how the average age of the gamer is now 32. Back when I started playing games I imagine that the average age was closer to 15. It's great to see that even with more households than ever playing games that the ones who started it all are still at it. Yeehaw!! Old Gamers!!

The number of gamer girls is also refreshing to see, clearly there is no longer a significant gender divide.

I am also jealous of the 18 hours a week people get to play games.... 18 hours a week??!?!? I wish.
