The survey, which involved more than 6,000 participants ages nine and older, of core gamers polled had bought games new.
So, when did a 9 year old kid screaming at you via non-disabable voice chat became the core gamer?
When that kid started playing 5 hours or more a week. According to NPD Group, at least.

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't go lower than nine. The first time I played video games I was three and I fairly deep into gaming itself before I'd even hit six.

I guess im too old for this shit. i started gaming when i was 13 or so. Then again, in my country such a thin as "PC" was some sort of miracle at the time i was 9.
