The Regular PSN User is 28, Male, Educated, Moneyed
Tags: Game, PS3, PSP, Sony, Writer's Post
Are you gamer? If yes, are you a male or a female? The common response you’ll get is “male”. I seldom find female gamers here – or maybe they’re just too lazy to go to forums to do some self-introduction to the local gaming community.. Okay back to the main point of this post :). You might find yourself fitting to the “28, male, educated, moneyed” category. It depends on whether you match the criteria shared by U.S. PSN director of operations Eric Lempel to the publication Video Business.
The PS3 and PSP’s PlayStation Network, which Sony says now has more than 12/5 million users (Unclear if the current count includes people who have only registered online to use the PlayStation forums and not through Sony gaming hardware).
VB : Who is the PlayStation Network audience?
Lempel : Right now, it’s primarily male. The average age is 28 years old, in usually the middle- to higher-income range. They over-index against those with graduate degrees. But it’s expanding. What we’re finding ever since we’ve introduced services like the video download service, we’re getting more of the household on the PlayStation Network. Some of the top rentals and sales on the video side have been content that probably doesn’t appeal exactly to that 28-year-old male. It’s more those movies that are geared toward women.
Hmm interesting. I am a female, still educating myself, and probably a very poor student XD.
Sadly statistics aren’t able to show whether the regular PSN user is single or married. It would be interesting to know! LOL. Oh btw, if you fit the regular PSN user criteria, and if you’re single, you should reduce your time spent on playing games and get a girlfriend before it’s too late. LOL. The PS3 may be your wife now, but she won’t be forever ^^”.
How many of you out there fits the regular PSN user description? :P Or.. soon to hit? ^^

lol nah!
Id like you to give me some help in searching for some CDs of a certain Japanese Band.
They only released 1 LP and a EP on the american Gearhead Label and the Rest of their output is still stuck in Japan.
I dont see it coming to the west so id like to see how much effort and money it would cost me to import those.
You are the only Idol Otaku I know so youre my best bet!

@ Blowfish: I only found at HMV Japan.. Hmm and it looks like a USA release to me. And I checked Amazon JP and it looks like they have USA release too.. Wow o.o. I only frequent those sites for my stuff… this is really a hard find T_T.

Ah too bad…Those are the two North American Releases on Gearhead Records…
As far as I know they are really big in Japan so I hoped that this would prove rather easy.
Even the Zen-Mistress cant find them? :(
Thanks for the try!
