Wow... does this mean that there are closet gamers in America? Maybe in the nineties, but this article is a decade behind. The three big hats (Microsoft, Nintendo, and Playstation) already know that video games should be made for a variety of people, and more importantly is that video games can and should be something no one is ashamed of. Two days ago, I had a customer in her 60's inquiring about a Nintendo DS for her grandchild. Per my request, she tried it. Yesterday I recieved a phone call saying: "Thank you young man, but why did no one think to make a Sudako like game before this?"

Mostly because one decade ago, everyone believed video games was something you grew out of. Today, it is an entertainment device we grow up with.

You know, if prices were all adjusted based off of looks rather than running capability, then I'm afraid just about every consule ever made would be worth pennies. I like many am condemend because no matter how good a PS3 is or isn't, 600 bucks is not my price range. Hell, that's 200 more than my monthly rent. Point being, those of you who are arguing over which system looks prettier should just speak with an interior decorator to re-arrange your room to mesh well with your favored fan-boy vice. I'll say it once to make it clear: A gaming machine is made so that you can entertain yourself with games. It does not need to have room enhancing looks.

Btw, Japanese people DO NOT like it when you call them Japs. Maybe, if your keep your grades up, you can go to high school and find out why. (no, i'm not Japanese, but my girlfriend is. Niether of us appreciate slang like that)
