being thin and disassociated is better than being fat and disassociated. Also, since staying thin is healthier than being fat/out-of-shape, the next generation can stay disassociated even longer! Darwin's theory should kick in a few generations later adding helpful mutations like a couple of extra legs that can run a treadmill right next to you while you sit on the couch playing GTA 3000.

but that's where all the money is or at least the money isn't coming from consumers under age 18.
maybe it's the demographic the industry *wishes* was the majority.
If this is accurate, then Nintendo might have the last laugh with their one-size-fits-all approach to gaming. In Japan we are already seeing the sterotypical demographics blend and blur withe the DS and more specifically Brain Age. The Wii claims to be even more non-gamer friendly and potentially tap into the broad games market rather than the 3% hardcore gamer demographic that MS and Sony want to capture.

"is the E3 cake going to be shared by all these groups from now on?" awww, there's *always* room for cake!

Telsa had a similar crackpot idea with the ionoshpere... and what a crackpot he turned out to be.
