Not Just for Kids

TV Guide (the small version) has a feature on video games. They briefly discuss how games have grown and changed since the early days of Pong to the new PlayStation 2. They also mention that games aren’t just for kids anymore. (They list 60% of Americans play interactive games, 32% are over 34 years old, 13% are over 50 years old.) They also provide a rating of the new game machines: Sega Dreamcast, Microsoft Xbox (fall 2001), Nintendo Game Boy (July 2001), Nintendo GameCube (Oct. 2001), and the Sony PlayStation 2. There is also a rating of games by genre (action, adventure, children’s, dancing & music, racing, sports, etc.). I think that it has something to do with upcoming holiday shopping, but its another perspective on games.
