How old are you owners of this new system. It seems as though we are going to be seeing more M rated games on this than on the DS. Is Nintendo trying to attract a wider audience? I am all for diversity.

I am 36. I really do not see the point of asking the age of users as gaming should not be determined by age.

But then marketing departments would erupt in chaos as no one would have demographic data to design business models on! :o

Just a curiosity question. I'm 30 myself. It just seems as though there will be a more diverse lineup for this than the DS. I even saw that Sega wants to do House of The Dead and an Aliens game. I know it is not the rating of the game that matters, it is the quality.

35.

I don't see what rating has to do with if a game will be good or not. I have and play games of all ratings.

As for the M rated games I think nintendo planned to make a few anyways since there aren't that many compaired to say games for the xbox and playstation, so nintendo wants to appeal more to all ages of gamers. and seeing as the 3ds is catered more towards adults they are looking to make and release games that would catch the adult eye ... inturn sales would go up... think about how many have said they have an issue with the launch games, well nintendo heard what people were saying and inturn said hmm we need to make all ages happy.. therefore wham new games being made for all ages.

I love how everyone but one person is over 20, and yet in the latest claim by Sony is that all "self respecting 20-something year olds" are too old for the 3DS.

I'm 22 btw and I love my 3DS.

Sony always made ridiculous statements about Nintendo and Microsoft. They still think they are the kings of gaming.

Games are an form of entertaiment for all ages. That's how i see videogames. As for the ratings they have nothing to do with the enjoyment, they don't tell how mature the game really is and Mature people play all kinds of games regardless of ratings. Only dumb kids get worry over that.

It may have to do with the time (responses were around the 7 p.m. - 12:30 a.m. PST area) and the fact that younger users have concerns like school. If the question was asked during the daytime, responses may be different.

28. Most people who buy systems at launch though are usually older, because they know when a sytem comes out and have money. Kids usually get there systems on birthdays or Christmas. Overall though I imagine the 3DS will probably have a slightly older demographic than the DS.

I'm 20.. Most of the people I've been meeting that have the 3DS are in their early/mid twenties.. Gotta love the early stages of a new console before the "general public" jumps on board and its really just the purists and fans that have the systems.. Also, surprising amount of 30 somethings on here.. good to see the "seniors" active on gaming forums :P Really hoping devs/publishers see this and give us some more mature rated games... DS was a little too "kid friendly" imo, especially when such a large percentage of the userbase was above 18...

They're tryina play the "If you don't own our product, you're an unpopular child" card but they're not Apple so that would never work. P.S. i'm 16. Suprised that there aren't many other teenagers who own a 3DS yet if you go into the PSP board... Well thats just Sony contradicting themselves because obviously only an immature teenager would fall for that ploy.

A lot of people picked red. I think there is only one person in my friends list without a red shirt. It's my favorite color so I'm not changing it! :P

I'm 22. I think there are a lot of older gamers right now due to the steep price tag. Hopefully this will encourage a wider a variety of games over the course of this handheld's lifetime. I'm not going to complain about titles appropriate for younger gamers because I'm looking forward to many of those myself, but it is nice to have great mature games like SSFIV and Resident Evil.
