Well, there are plenty of those kinds of kids for sure, but they are not the most prevalent number in the demographics of video game players. The Entertainment Software Association, a top demographics and research company did a survey recently and found that adults make up 92 percent of the people who purchase video games these days and 80 percent who purchase video game consoles.
The average age of video game players is now up to 33, and getting higher every year it seems. This recent survey found that 67 percent of the Heads of Households play video games as a form of recreation, according to the Entertainment Software Association, or ESA. The average age of the most frequent video game buyers is 38 years old.
Every news story showed footage of die-hard Halo 3 fans waiting in line for the release of this latest Halo video game. Most of these fans were adults who have followed the Halo video game franchise for many years. There are a lot of parents playing video games these days. The parents of today recognize the value of playing video games.
The grown ups of today are the first generation to be raised on video games. Corporations like Microsoft spend millions of dollars to create games like Halo 3 which offer an experience that is much more than a game. First person shooter video games like Halo 3 and Far Cry by Ubisoft put the players in the game and provide them with choices that determine the outcome. Video game developers have known for years that adults are their main customers. More and more middle aged adults are playing video games these days. Back in 1999 only 9 percent of people over the age of 50 played video games. The video game industry generates 80 billion dollars worldwide annually. Most of that money is made from the sales of video games and Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii video game consoles that are purchased by adults for themselves
Nintendo Wii Video Game System
Executive summary about Wii video games by Chad Creel
The Nintendo Wii is one of the most popular video game systems on the market and also one of the most affordable as well. The Wii also has a game called the Wii fit that you can purchase, that has a workout pad to get you in shape while enjoying the fun of a video game. Some of the other features that the Wii boasts is a 512 MBs of internal flash memory, two USB 2.0 ports, and a slot for SD memory expansion. The system’s technological heart, a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named “Broadway” and a graphics chipset from ATI code-named “Hollywood” — deliver stunning performance. And instead of a tray, Wii uses a single, self-loading media bay that plays both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system, as well as Nintendo GameCube discs. These features have helped Nintendo and the Wii stay popular and will make them a leader in the video game industry for a long long time.
