The rise of the casual gamer

Filed under: Gaming — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 6:37 pm

Gaming is no longer the preserve of so called serious gamers that are male and in their late teens early twenties.  Female gamers have always been around but now the world of gaming has expanded to include any age or sex.

Partly this is due to the Wii, which despite not having the best graphics has still managed to out sell the serious consoles.  This leads to the conclusion that fun is still the most important aspect of gaming and if the whole family can get involved even better. 

It will be interesting to see if the Wii continues to out sell it’s competitors or becomes consigned to the cupboard, where all the other fads now reside or whether the other consoles decide to incorporate more of the Wii’s innovative remote control device into their own controllers.  The PS3 has already taken steps in this direction with the wireless sixaxis but due to the fact that there aren’t many games out yet that use this, it is hard to tell how popular it will be.
