Lots of Cool things coming, say Albert Penello

Maybe the reason for more older people playing video games is people grew up with video games from an early age and has always been around them. Same reason Nintendo are so big in Japan, generation after generation growing up with Mario etc.

I think the reason that study has the age a bit lower at 30 is because they include the 35% of people who game on there smart phones

Just consoles i think would be in the 35 to 40 range.

That's very interesting data. When I was a kid games were for kids and all adults frowned upon them. Now obviously that seems to be turning upside down.

Larry Hyrb, Xbox Live's Major Nelson is the epitome of cool!
