Just seems high for an average when you factor in all the 5-10 year olds with GBA's DSs etc.
Seems like they would pull the average down lower than 33, and that it may be off as no survey is going to capture kids that young.

Interesting... Being involved in a clan and I know lot of gamers that are 30+. In my clan, we got 6 members (including me) that are in late 30's and one in 60's. My good friend's clan have more than 20 members that are in 30's.
I really enjoy playing online games with adult than kids. Kids always screaming "HEADSHOT!" or "N00B" repeatly on public message.

I honestly believe there are more younger baby boomers and older Gen Xers playing video games than 5-10 year olds. Just because there are more of them.

Two 32 yo's in this house, we play FF XI, I've recently been playing Zelda: Minish Cap on the GCN Gameboy player, and my wife has a DS attached to her wrist.
