When Buying Console for Christmas, Price Most Important Factor
So says the Associated Press/AOL, who surveyed parents and kids.
The survey found that 62% of adults do not play video games. This, of course, is no big surprise. Yet most of us video game fanboys have a real hard time realizing that our activity, as mainstream as it has become, isn't yet at the level of going to the movies or watching TV shows. Most other adults you meet are not going to be gamers.
This, of course, is where Nintendo's whole "Blue Ocean" thing comes in!
More obvious is that the survey found that kids under 18 play video games. 80% of them, in fact. Yet they need mommie and daddy to buy them, and, once again, we find the obvious answer revealed in the survey: Cost is the most important factor!
Just goes to show: put your money into fun, not into graphics chips. Advantage Ninty.
