DISQUS

I find it surprising that most the average age of a purchaser is 37 and yet parents are present 92% of the time.

Either video gamer buyers are sad people who still go shopping with their parents into their early 30s or most purchasers are kids and there's one really, really old guy who brings the average age up.

Adam, the reason that they are going after video games once again is because of the fact that they need an issue that can whip up support among the white upper-middle and upper classes whose kids are usually as latch-key as the poor kids of America. They know that as long as mommy and daddy are working 80 hours a week to buy new beamers and bigger houses, not to make ends meet, that there'll be plenty of parents who feel guilty about not supervising their kids, but who won't give up the good life to do it. I see that crap all of the time here in NoVA.
