A tidbit from Slate.com mentions new statistics that the latest batch of gamers isn't exactly composed of young whipper-snappers. http://www.games.net/blog/24234/say-hola-to-senior-citizen-gamers/ If you do a search on Corbis for "video gamer", there are a surprising number of old folks playing video games. (They must have shot a lot after all the Wii articles.) http://www.games.net/blog/24234/say-hola-to-senior-citizen-gamers/#comment_559825 http://www.games.net/blog/24234/say-hola-to-senior-citizen-gamers/ Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:43:40 GMT Not that surprising if you think about it. Retired, nothing to do, video games are great time wasters. With the Wii and DS, it has really opened up a new age of gamers.

My uncle is 75 years old.....but he digs the Wii. http://www.games.net/blog/24234/say-hola-to-senior-citizen-gamers/#comment_562833 http://www.games.net/blog/24234/say-hola-to-senior-citizen-gamers/ Wed, 18 Apr 2007 11:21:39 GMT
