Young Adults are prefering Nintendo Wii, But 45+ Prefer PS3

Today I have found one good information about the preference of game in each group of age. Despite Nintendo Wii's appeal to a atypical gamer demographics, a new study shows that the console is still most popular with 18-24-year-olds when compared to rival consoles. Nintendo Wii marketing often shows wrinkled folks playing Wii Bowling in a nursing home, but the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 actually have more appeal among older age groups, Experian Consumer Research has found. 18- to 24-year-olds played or owned game consoles at the highest rate when compared to older age brackets. PlayStation 3 was found to be the most popular console for people over 44, besting Xbox 360 and Wii. Xbox 360 was most popular with 35-44-year-olds.

You can see from the figure as following.

NHL 2K9 will come to Nintendo Wii this year

Ice hockey fans will be elated to find out that Take Two has announced NHL 2K9 will become the first NHL game to grace the Nintendo Wii later this year. The game will also see release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2. Come on, admit it -- you're shocked.

As you would expect with a Wii sports game, the Wiimote will allow for some rather nifty new moves, with Wii Remote motions controlling a player's stick, similar to the way the right analogue stick was used in NHL 2K8, but much more refined. At least, we would imagine that's the case. Visual Concepts are once again the driving force behind the project. Last month it was announced that Columbus Blue Jackets winger and 2002 first overall draft pick Rick Nash will be the cover athlete. That's him up in the corner of this icon, in case you're wondering.

NHL 2K9 is due out on all platforms in September.

Filmed by the woman’s boyfriend, the footage, which was posted online without her knowledge, has received almost 3.3 million hits till now.

The clip, titled “Why every guy should buy their girlfriend a Wii Fit”, shows 25-year-old Lauren Bernat in only her pants and a T-shirt and doing very fast hula hoop motions.

The Nintendo Wii Fit, which went on sale in Britain in April, enables its owners to do a number of exercises and stretches, that includes slalom skiing and hula hoping, while they are instructed by an on-screen fitness expert.

Giovanny Gutierrez, 30, who filmed the footage of his girlfriend, said that initially Bernat was fuming at him for posting the clipping on the Internet, but now she has forgiven him.

“She was furious when she found out. She called me on the phone screaming her head off and then hung up on me,” The Telegraph quoted him, as saying.

He added: “But she now finds herself laughing about it and enjoying her 15 minutes of fame as the Wii Fit girl. It’s just crazy how it’s blown up.” (ANI)
