Anyway, the report believes gaming parents are "ripe for the picking." It notes that 93% of gamer parents play with their children and, with half the games sold in 2006 being E-rated, that mom and dad are a viable market. Not to rain on the revelation parade, but didn't Nintendo already figure that one out?

And Alex St. John thinks the industry is just going to walk away from all that money...

Yeah, if someone didn't mention Nintendo at the end... Anyway, I think this is all something every gamer could predict.

The industry is already becoming yet another cold media industry like films and music, sigh.

"Age originally expected? Are people expected to abandon movies, music or books?"
YES! Thank you Joystiq, thats what i always say when old farts make out like you should have given up games after you hit 30.
I notice that the cut-off point is about 35 now, before that age you were a kid when the first games machines showed up, anyone older was generally out dating or whatever and saw them as a kiddie activity.
Something that seems to persist, sadly (except with old-timers like Garnett Lee), getting you funny looks when your a 33 yr old man playing with a DS.
