A new report conducted by Nielsen//NetRatings shows that a staggering 36.5% of adults own a gaming console, including 15.9% owning portable consoles. The same report shows that 71% of these adults are married, and 66% have at least one child living in the house. You know what this means? The geeks are finally taking over!

As gaming consoles become more and more sophisticated, they have become more or a centralized addition to a families entertainment center. Making gaming an international phenomenon. We’ve reported in the past about senior citizens playing the Wii, but many of you might have thought these were rare occurrences. This report proves otherwise. — Andrew Dobrow

Things have not been going good at all for Sony recently. The PS3, which was one of the most, if not the most, highly anticipated gaming consoles ever to be released has entered a serious slump. Marketing trends and sales are showing a bleak prediction for the future of the PS3 system. On the initial date of release, the PS3 flew off the shelves at the speed that was to be expected. Days later the systems were being sold for $2,000 a pop on eBay to the many who were not able to find one. Only weeks after the release, prices for the PS3 on eBay are selling for barely over the retail price, if at all, regardless of the lack of supply in stores. With the Microsoft Nintendo Wii leading the charge in every category, the Playstation 3 continues to lag behind in sales. Many are already predicting that there are going to be too many of them around with not enough of a market. Although many sales predictions showed Sony has having a breakout product with the PS3, this is what happens when you stay in the technology game, without innovating your style. The Wii is fresh, fun, and cool and in the end, the PS3 is basically the PS2 with better graphics. — Andrew Dobrow
