Seniors: The New Videogame Consumers

March 30th, 2007 by Alyssa · No Comments

The New York Times has an interesting article today about the growing popularity of videogames with senior citizens. I’m not going to summarize the article, just pique your interest with two quotes:

“It turns out that older users not only play video games more often than their younger counterparts but also spend more time playing per session.”

“Women come for the games, but they stay for the community. … It’s kind of a MySpace for seniors.”

You can read the article here.
