Recent data shows an increase of 127 per cent in people 35 years old and up purchasing a DS device, for which most of the brain games have been produced. The female contingent in that is up 42 per cent.

Another 16 per cent of men over 50 report they play games regularly, while 10 per cent of women over 50 are also regular users.

I just got mine, and I'm 23 :)

And my sister wants one, who is younger than I (Nintendogs FTW). My mom also liked Grundy, my huskie. Though, I think she's getting a MacBook.

Don't tell, it's a surprise ;)

I would like to get my grandma a DS and Nintendogs and Brain Age, but I don't have the money. I know they would love it though.

I just bought one last week, with New SMB and FF3. I'm 27. I gotta say it's a hell of a system.

haha..that's right, children only play the DS and not an X Box 360 or any other consoles/handhelds. That's why the DS is just for kids. :roll:

As demonstrated here, never buy a DS without using a condom or you risk contracting an STD.

Kids play video games, all kinds of em.

 

But let's be real, more kids play Halo than anything else ever. That doesn't make it kiddy, it makes it really ******* annoying.

of course, since psp has like 2 good games and the whole umd thing was a big flop. plus, games like warioware touched and brain age and cooking mama are actually fun to play, unlike their counterparts on wii.
