I still think most gamers are 20 and up but I am thinking about consoles, not hand-helds. I did a little Google work to see what games are best-sellers for the year and a lot more are for kids than I would have expected.
#1. Wii Sports - 5.4 million (but that kinda goes along with the Wii)
#2. Halo 3 - 4. 75 million
#3. Pokemon - 4 million - DEFINITELY kids
#4. Wii play - 3 million (kids? I don't know)
#5. Guitar Hero II (PS2) - 1.7 million (kids and all others)
The titles I expected to be higher were "Bioshock" and "Crackdown" and "Call of Duty 4". They were top 25 but not top 10. So, with the idea that adults play kids games and kids play adult games (Halo 3 anybody?) I will say that I was wrong.
I can't post the URL here but Google "VGchartz" and you will find endless sales charts.
