I'm glad I don't "actively" play console games anymore... that market is just going down the toilet...

I am a graduate student of cognitive science and an avid gamer. I find your article HIGHLY uneducated. The average purchaser of video games is now over the age of 25, college educated, and could tell you these items are no more than novelties.
And all I can say to bkdude as for the future of gaming, think Lois Van Ahn meets Cliff Blezinski if I have anything to do with it!
