Teens Losing Interest In Gaming?

Survey firm Piper Jaffrey has results saying that teenagers are losing interest in videogaming. From the Gamasutra article: "Interestingly, almost 80 percent of teens indicated that they intend to spend less time playing video games in 2006 and nearly 70 percent indicated that their interest in playing video games is decreasing." What do you think could be causing this drop in interest from young people? Sequels? Mature themes? Sequels?

Neither one of you intelligent, +5 Insightful posters seem to have a clue regarding how to analyze a survey or why this is just more Slow News Day hot air.

Guess the +5 Insightful are just having trouble with the +1 Fucking Obvious today.

Next on Slashdot - research indicates that as of today, Bush's remaining time in the Oval Office "decreasing steadily every minute"!

Slashdot posters: *500 post clusterfuck of a thread analyzing just why this is the case and what might be done to "recover" or "hasten the process", discussing everything from society's shifting views on war and abortion to the proportion of blue ties to black ties at GOP conventions to whether tin foil hats really work and whether they cause cell phone interference or not, and of course Sony vs. Microsoft vs. Apple vs. Linux*

haha

1235 students in a nationwide survey of students who volunteered their time to take it.. that is just silly. Those numbers cant be taken seriously as theres no way that survey could show with any precision the point of view of american youth. Maybe if they even tried to break 10,000.. but 1235 out of the millions of teenagers in america, no telling how they were picked to take the survey or how things were worded.. Ive seen better numbers from college student surveys for class projects.
