[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 1431401, member: 3649"] I guess I still have a hard time wrapping my head around that first point. Also, the other thread where they detailed the usual disposable income of a teen/tweenager today.. that did shock me a great deal. I guess $25 isn't past them. I keep forgetting how expensive video game and cartridge games usually are; that's one thing that always kept me from becoming interested in console gaming: the price was too high. Most kids don't seem to have a problem getting $30-$60 computer games and console games so I suppose a $25 game isn't pricey at all for them. The second point is a major one. Parents are not going to go into a hobby store to find it: they're going to spot it at Wal-Mart. Thankfully most book stores now have a gaming section in them. Some don't position it correctly, though. Our B. Dalton's places the graphic novels and the gaming stuff together, facing the SF section. Barnes and Nobles does the same.
