okay after thinking about what i said i didn't word that very well sorry about that, yes i know adults are a big sale when it comes to the x-box community but a lot of 35 year olds do have family's and some of them just have a hard time just getting by what they make at whatever job they work it since shit is so expensive these days, with bills with the cost of living and if you have kids and are divorced alimony and stuff like that. i don't have kids and i'm over 35 and i don't have things like that to worry about. but i do miss the days when Systems being sold were far far cheaper. and they were great consoles too. at least the ones i bought anyways i think were. though i may buy the x this year cause i can also collect games from all 3 consoles i do have a 360 actually.
a lot the times i normally wait until the consoles get cheaper but that is an awfully long wait cause they take forever to go down in price. for example i got my Wii in (2011) and i wanted it cause well Zelda as i've been a fan of that game since i think (1989) when i 1st played the Original game and it's my favorite game of all time. i don't remember what that cost back than but it even than felt a lot to me, the NES i mean. as for the Demographic it's funny the way that is these days, as a kid in the 80's it was aimed towards kids and even into the 90's. i never had a Genesis or Atari it was Nintendo. than in the late 90's into the early 2000's it was aimed still towards kids and than the age changed to Teens as well when playstation came along and they put out games aimed towards teenagers and not just kids. yes teens are kids too but teens like 15 or 16 years old like Resident Evil for example isn't really a kids game though kids can play that one.
in the past decade or so it was by than aimed at people in their 20's mostly, the older i get i'm 38 at the moment it's aimed at 25-35 i think they said was the biggest fans they go for. not really Nintendo but X Box and Playstation. but they still put games out for kids as they should. the ratings system i can say was a great idea for parents who choose to look at it to say yes or not when it comes to their kids playing certain games. depending on their age of course, since the age bracket has changed so much in the past 10-15 years one wonders what it will be in another decade? since there's still people out there into their 40's and 50's who love gaming and who have loved it since the 2600 days. however the downside is the prices on these consoles the prices are getting higher and higher and it drives me nuts when i was talking a young guy at work and he thinks $400 bucks is cheap, i asked do you pay for the system? he's i think 22 or 23 and he still lives at home, he's also handicapped to a certain degree and is a big gamer as well. so he still lives at home with his folks and he goes no his folks buy him one.
that's him not knowing the value of a dollar i think. what worries me is that 10 years from now these consoles if we still even have them will cost $1,000 to buy and that's still to high for a console. $500 is half-way there as it is. what's funny is that the Jaguar which i think cost more back in the day was a flop cause of that, plus i hear it was an awful underpower system as well. i knew no one who had one i dunno if you did. but i am curious if fans will start bitching about the price since they did say this was the price when the X Bone came out. i wonder if that will hurt the sales ? Phil Spencer is a smart guy he actually i think listens to his fans as as much as i love Sony they need to do that more than they do. i guess time will tell, sorry about the rambling on this i was just trying to explain this a bit better i dunno if it came out the way i wanted it to or not. but i hope it did. as for the show yesterday really only like i think 5 or 6 of the 42 games caught my attention. i wonder if it will be more at Sony's tonight?
