Hey, the Wii is a great console! It's not just for kids, it's for everyone! /sarcasm

Well, it is. It's not something to be sarcastic about. >_>

The Wii does target hardcore audiences, too. So what if it also targets casual gamers and non-gamers? Those people may become the hardcore gamers of the future! Nintendo's expanding the gaming audience. That's a good thing.

Err, no. Just because my mom played Wii sports for 10 minutes doesn't mean she'll go out and buy GTA 4.

Not everyone is going to become hardcore gamers, but there are many people who have been exposed to video games now thanks to the Wii that have never done so before. Of course not every single person is going to become a core gamer, but some of them will, and that's good. But really, it doesn't matter if you're casual or hardcore. All that matters is that you have fun. If some people can have a ton of fun with Wii Sports and Wii Fit, then let them be. How is that any different from you having fun with your core games? It isn't. The only difference is the games themself. Every game is different, but the reason behind all games are the same; to bring entertainment to people. If it succeeds in that, then it's all good.

Good post. It's not like my mom would want to play a, "hardcore game" anyways. She stops in the door whenever I'm playing a shooting game and says, "How can you play that? It's so gross!" XD

Quoting limited to 5 levels deepsoeveryoneAverage is the keyword.
If you add 5 million 7 year olds to 5 million 80 year olds, and divide by 20 million, you get 20 as an average age.

Um...no. The most common age of Wii gamers is 29. Most common.

I hope you realize that that's not a pro for us.

Why? Most hardcore gamers are in their 30s, you know. It's not all teens, despite what you may want to believe.

30 year olds?

Dear god, you are living a lie.

Every single source I've ever read about the subject has said that. It's not a lie. >_>

EXACTLY!! Now do you see? It doesn't matter what types of games you play. All that matters is that you have fun in the process. Now can't we all just get along? >_>

What. I'm confused, because why is 20 years old being gamers a bad thing? Are hardcore gamers supposed to all be 9 or something.

Being 40 and doing the Hula Hoop in a video game is disturbing as hell.

 

[Tyeforce]

What are your sources for all of this info?

Surveys and such that I've seen online at various places. If you want to see them, then find them yourself. It's not like I bookmark them all. >_>

I said 30s was the average age for hardcore gamers. Most common age for Wii gamers in in their 20s. Nobody even mentioned 40s. And why does it matter what age you are?

I'm 15. Some people shouldn't be playing video games. Some people should. The Wii is breaking that borderline.
