Average Wii Player is Age 29

Nintendo says a vast majority of Wii owners are still core gamers. In addition to sharing demographic data, Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime dismissed the idea that Wii owners are simply buying the machine for Wii Sports. In a group conference call on Friday, the boss man said that Wii attach rates are actually higher than the PS2 attach rate for the same period, suggesting that a healthy number of games are being sold. When asked if Nintendo was happy with the current quality of third-party games, Fils-Aime said, "Any system will have a range of quality." He went on to say that developers are "working hard" to push the limits of Wii hardware. On the subject of online functionality, Reggie dished both good and bad. "We do not anticipate making online playable VC games," he said before speaking on the future possibility of voice communication for Wii. "Our system has the capability for online voice chat, it's just an issue of deciding on peripheral."

My grandad plays on the Wii. He's about 60. I don't even have a games console now.

it just proves Nintendo has done a good job attracting the older, non-traditional demographic to become casual gamers. it's just not the stereotypical teenager playing a shooter game anymore.

Nintendo have wonderful job really with the wii making it so anyone of any age can play the only bad thing is the name what were they thinking?

[BloodTotal]

I would have thought it was lower; generally most people that I know in the ages of 25-35 have xbox 360 or a ps3, a wii doesnt even come into the equation

If there was another survey done on the average age of gaming in general I bet it would be people in thier mid 30's.

29 was the average gaming age before GTA San Andreas came out when gaming was more cartoon like.
