Makes me wonder if the number of female gamers will ever be equal to the number of male gamers.

jneul5610d ago

haha atleast there are more of us:-D

Dark_Charizard5610d ago (Edited 5610d ago )

Gamer or not, there are more males on the earth. We are made to dominate everything! :P

thor5610d ago

@Dark_Charizard

Is that right? I know that as far as birth rates go, you have about a 50.5% chance of having a girl and 49.5% chance of having a boy. Women also have longer life expectancy. So if what you say is true, it must be because of things like the one child policy china had and the desire to have a boy, meaning there are only more men because little girls have been left to die on the street....

TANUKI5610d ago

@ thor

While I can't disagree with the one child policy (since that is fact), the last part about little girls being left out on the street is a bit of a stretch.

That is what I was talking about... things like this would be the only thing to sway the population to having more men... the other factors I mentioned should mean there are more women...

AWBrawler5610d ago

Oh dear lord the numbers for psp and DS are of by a few mill. psp is near 60 mill and DS is knocking at 140 mill. these guys are off.

cyborg5610d ago

Had no idea the average gamer age was 32.

iamnsuperman5610d ago

Same that's the one that shocked me the most

Dark_Charizard5610d ago (Edited 5610d ago )

The average user's age on N4G is still probably 12...

ReBurn5610d ago

lol...N4G. Where middle school lasts forever.

Ducky5610d ago (Edited 5610d ago )

I'm guessing it includes all the 95 year olds that play wii sports?
:D

Simon_Brezhnev5610d ago (Edited 5610d ago )

that couldnt be true for 360 crowd probably PS3 and Wii. Since the Wii has old to young audiences.

etowntwo5610d ago

I'm 35 ... and this is probable the 6 gen of consoles I'm playing.

Video games have just become so much more mainstream and accepted cause it's just the new age of entertainment like movies and it's only going to get better and better.

Chug5610d ago

It's really not that surprising. That age group (which includes myself) grew up playing Atari, NES, Genesis, etc.

Drekken5610d ago

Why wouldn't we be avg of 32? The entitled generation of today is by far not the first gen of gamers.

Gaming is not just a kid thing. It is a legitimate source of entertainment for all ages.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi88d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer88d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot88d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box88d ago (Edited 88d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno88d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay88d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno87d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK87d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
