Lots of stuff in TJ's note that would require a multi-level response, and unfortunately I'm too lazy for that.
But okay, this stood out: that weird stat about the "average over 30 gamer." Let's start with the word "gamer." How do you define a "gamer"? Someone who plays games?" Someone who plays Words With Friends for 20-25 minutes a day? Or do they mean someone who plays 3-4 hours a day, minimum, 7 days a week? A WoW grinder, a CoD multiplayer, a GTA immersion freak. Are those the "real" gamers?
It's like the word "moviegoer." "Oh, yes, I'm a moviegoer. I go to the movies 3-4 times a year!" That actually is the average adult attendance, or somewhere close to it. But it's stupid to call them "moviegoers" like it defines their lives, just like calling people "gamers" because they don't shrink from controllers like Dracula from a crucifix.
