While there are no real numbers to compare to, 27% of grandparents and 34% of babyboomers would like to receive a portable video game system this year. Nintendo suspects that the video game Brain Age is a big part of this. Probably because Nintendo has been promoting the game heavily that it has reached the 50+ community.

I guess it is safe to say that Nintendo have captured a new market of audience. The question now lies if there are any publishers and game designers out there who are willing to take a shot in creating a game that is designed solely for seniors.

I have always dreamed that one day, when I am pretty old to be a grandpa, I should be holding a game controller and playing it hardcore with my grandchildren. Good job Nintendo!
