Recent studies have shown that the majority of PS3 owners are over the age of 45. While this may lead some to believe that most PS3 gamers are over 45, that would be a false assumption. From talks I have had with various retailers, it appears that males over 45 are still buying the PS3 to watch movies on, not play games. I haven’t seen any specific studies breaking down what the age groups are playing on the PS3, I’d assume that the average PS3 gamer would probably fit into the 30-40 range. As an interesting side-note, the average Xbox 360 owner is 35-44 and the average Wii owner is 18-24. While some fanboys may still cling to the “which console is best” debate, it really does not matter at this point. Each system appeals to an entirely different demographic. All three consoles in this generation will be considered a success once it’s all said and done…

If you were a gamer when the PSone came out in 1995 you would have to be 32. Which is not old when it comes to gaming even in 1995. So naturally as time goes by, your passion for gaming continues. Gaming is not related to age anymore. I believe the average age of gamers will continue to increase as we all get older.
I can see myself playing well into my 50’s, just like my father in law!

I’ll be gaming unless my hands and vision fail me and I assume that will be a long time. And by then, who knows.. you may be able to play games with your thoughts.
