Interesting topic. I too am no expert on gamers, but I do know this much. The majority of gamers are 30+…clearly on the fringe of the millenial group. It’s a common misconception that it’s teens who dominate this category, but it’s really quite a diverse group. Contrary to popular belief, being a loner is no longer the gamer m.o. Social networking and the ability to connect with and play against real life foes from all over the world has driven the genre in ways never conceived when Nintendo first debuted.

Check out the Xbox website for a glimpse on how they are trying to instigate this connectivity.

Thanks for raising the issue.
