http://gamer.blorge.com/2009/02/19/how-the-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-appeal-to-different-demographics/

According to said graphics

Xbox 360 appeals to the men ages 12-17, and women 24-35

While the ps3 appeals to ages 18-24 mainly.

And the wii's demographic, well, just :lol:

I also heard somewhere that ps3 owners were more likely to have gone to college.

So there you have it

the Xbox 360 is a value menu meal

The ps3 is a fine dinner from red lobster

And the wii, well, is a happy meal.

Yes, I'm in Dumbledore's Army. The only muggle there. The reason is that we manticores are more invincible to the killing curse and our blades can destroy a horcrux. To answer your question, yes I am a Harry Potter fanboy. I do like the books and movies.

Whats your point? PS3 is a good Blu Ray player, that's where a lot of its sales come from. I think older people are more likely to invest in Blu Rays rather then DVD or download

Statistics are so easy to manipulate there are book written on the subject. I've seen charts and graphs that show solid data to backup something and other data to completely disprove it. Charts, studies and surveys mean nothing to me i've seen it too often and both sides produce compelling arguments.

Being a manticore is a big boy, fanboys like you aren't. Everyone lets vote: Should I argue with myself to kill this thread or not? You know I do kill threads like this.

You don't seem like a big boy. Maybe an arrogant boy would be a better title?

Hey hey hey

lay off Red Lobster

That's where I draw the line.

And don't let me catch you talking schit about Olive Garden either.

Anecdotally I believe PS3 has more adults, by the simple fact that I've never heard anybody sing racist songs into the mic.

I'm sure there's cool people everywhere tho so it doesn't really matter.

You do realize that the ps2 was in the same position the 360 is now right? The reason a lot of ps3 users are older is because the playstation is an established brand that a ton of people grew up playing. The younger generation doesn't know about the legacy of the ps1 and ps2 era.

Add the fact that a lot of adults buy the ps3 mostly for a fancy bluray player and your argument is moot. Next generation could see a rise in the average age of the xbox user.
