People who are older have more money, so they buy more games, since they're older they don't like "E" games, there interests are in blood and gore, etc., thats my theory of why they sell more

I'm personally a fan of Barbie's Fun Time Fan Club game on the GBA.

But I do own a Wii. So it's not all true about the M rated games. But I do love me some gorish games.

I was just talking about how some of these consumers buy these games, and thats why some of them do

But let us not forget the percentage of youngsters that are able to get their hands on the M games by lax parenting or store staff. These gamers help make M games more popular because they can't wait years to be able to play them.

GTA anyone? Saints row? :p

Actually hardly any of my games are M rated games, only a few, as i do prefer adventure type games

But yup, could be various numbers of reasons as to why they selling more. As the article says, M rated games are given higher ratings, and, if people are checkin out which games to buy, if its got a high rating......:p ya know

And yeah there is the whole older gamer thing can afford em lol. But, at the same time, i know kids who play GTA and such and really want the game and their parents buy it for em, not really knowing.

I've been playing M rated games since I was 4. I remember the first time I ever put Doom into the SNES. Good times...good times.
