AtomYour grandparents want a DS as a holiday gift too
A study conducted by Harris Interactive found that 27% of grandparents and 34% of baby boomers would like to receive a portable video game system this year. There are no numbers compare to, but it is likely that Brain Age is part of this effect. Nintendo has been heavily promoting the game outside of video game magazines and MTV commercials. Kiosks of Brain Age were at the AARP Life @ 50+ event and Nintendo bought space in Time magazine to advertise the title. Now that Nintendo captured a new market are there any publishers willing to take a chance and make a game designed for the baby boomer generation?

I have to wonder about this one. Maybe they’re confusing our favorite portable with some newfangled Denture Shiner. Or Drool Sponge. Diaper Saver? Donut-Sitter! Doody Softener. Driving Slow…downer?

And I’ll be damned if my 59-year-old mother didn’t just email me to say she was heading out to Best Buy to pick up a DS. Damned serendipity.

“I had a dream where grand parents and grand children could play videogames together in perfect harmony!”
Way to go nintendo!!! Way to bridge the age gap! Maybe in 30 or 40 years or so when I get old enough, I’ll be able to school my grand children in tetris wi fi!
