Is the Xbox 360 Really Mom Friendly?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the kid-tested-etc dept.

Alex writes "Just prior to the XBOX 360's launch last November, in an interview with Primotech, Peter Moore boldly declared that someday "your mom would be playing the XBOX 360." In a twenty-page feature, we today put his words to the test, with a thorough investigation of how mom-friendly the 360, and videogaming in general, has become. The bigger picture: Has gaming finally reached the massive mainstream market?"

    Unfortunately, Peter Moore never quite fully grasped the fine art of "your mom" jokes.

    My mom would think soap opera games are lame, but if some one came out with an "Antiques Road Show" or "Appraise It" she would buy a 360 in a heart beat. On the other hand, we do have a game like that, and you get to use real money on. We call it "E-Bay" and mom is plays that game all the time.
