new generation video games give a better experience, opposed to older games

I don't think my adversary is quite understanding the argument that I am making for how age would determine experience. So I am going to offer up all of my points in one contention and break it down. Contention 1How to define someones experience and what factors play a part in determining it. "We cannot say that every 40 year old will like older gamming and that every younger person will like the newer gamming"My adversary claims that I am generalizing a group of people when I make this point but it is far from that. He is claiming that new video games offer a better experience, the point I am making is that if in fact old games offer a better experience to one person or one age group, his resolution is not true. Every type of gamer and every age group group must be taken into consideration. He then claims that there is no evidence to support to this claim. Let me first cite some sources and show some facts that will show that I am correct with this assumption. Age is a big factor in gaming and also what type of game a gamer enjoys.First lets take a look at some statistics. "The average gamer is 30 years old and has been playing for 13 years. Sixty-eight percent of gamers are 18 or older.""The type of game an average gamer prefers is often split in between casual and serious. Many factors can play into this such as age, the type of game, and when the game was made""The truth of the matter is, interactive entertainment has existed in some mass-market form since the 1970s, and it stands to reason that there is a massive audience that has grown from childhood into adulthood and middle age with entertainment software as a constant presence" http://www.theesa.com...http://www.ign.com...http://www.geekquality.com...http://library.thinkquest.org...http://www.geek.com...As we can clearly see with those stats, poll, and forums age is a huge factor and a lot of people prefer older games to newer games. Thus making my adversaries resolution false. Remember he is claiming that they offer a better experience as a whole, if I can find a group of people or even some people who have a better experience with old games, his claim is not true. We can see that the age of the gamer determines what type of game they will buy, and what what type they prefer. You can even see by some of the charts above that over 60 percent of gamers are over the age of 18. Most of these people grew up playing older games and will always prefer the experience of them over the new one. You can clearly see this is some of the forums. In fact game stop still sells 10 percent of older stock such as ps2 games on a stock check basis. So it is also quite obvious just by the fact that older games still offer a market and are still sold that some people prefer them. So now I will break this down even further. My job is not to show that older games give a better experience than new ones. All I have to do is show they can offer the same type of experience, and my adversary would also be proven wrong. I have did this very thoroughly as well. Also if I can show that a demographic of people, or certain age group prefers older games he would be wrong. Actually if I can just simply show that some people just prefer older games to newer games, he would also be wrong. I have not done just one, but all the above. He then states this"I said however that there are emulators that can play the old games, piece for piece an exact copy of the game"If he meant to say this then he is proving my point. An emulator is an often illegal version of a console that you can download to your pc. It is a program that allows you to player older versions of games and sometimes newer version. Often it is older and for free. If he is using this as a fact it goes to prove my point, that people still have a good experience playing old games and would go through the trouble of getting an emulator to play them. Thus showing the experience is quite memorable. In no way is this a new game, or newer game. It provides no credibility to my adversaries statement but goes to strengthen mine. He goes on to also say this" I say that newer generation games give abetter experience to all and you believe that a majority say the oldergeneration games are better"I have never said nor will say that the majority prefer older games. All I have to do is show a certain demographic or that some people prefer older games, and your resolution is not true. After this he goes on to claim that I said a majority of gamers are younger, and that he does not understand how marketing applies to my argument. I will break this down simply. I should have also phrased myself better when I said a vast amount of gamers are younger, It was in the context of saying that a vast amount of younger people, will be inclined to like new games more. If you take new graphics and compare it old graphics, new graphics will always win in that sense. Younger gamers did not get to experience the era in which older gamers got to. So they will not share the same love or passion for older games. This is not always the case but a vast majority.So to break down the marketing point, I will post his original point."AS we can see the rules have changed and game makers anddevelopers are free to release to multiple platforms and are set at a marketbased value of consumption and price. This gives them the ability to free roamand explore the art of video gaming that’s why new generation games offer abetter experience. "He is claiming because of how marketing ideas work, this shows that they offer a better experience. So for this to be said we must define experience and how it is personal to someone. An experience can be positive or negative and is completely subjective to what type of game the person likes. For each person it is different, and for my adversary to claim that just simply new games offer a better experience, is not considering all the variables. Marketing works off what makes money and what is the majority. While a vast majority of gamers are older, this is not considering who is buying the material. This is in my sources as well. The newer generation tends to spend more on games. This is around the ages of 10-25. They are the ones that spend the most money, so they are the ones that will be focused on.Also if you shift through some of the other charts and figures in my sources you can see that older people (25+) will often buy games based off of cost efficiency. Which often leads them into still buying older games. Cost is a huge factor as to what is bought. Marketing ideas are always based off of what will appeal to the masses who are buying, and since younger people spend more money on it, it is only logical to assume that is whom will be focused on. In ClosingI think it is almost irony in the sense my adversary says that I am generalizing, when he is claiming that a majority or all people prefer or tend to prefer new games and receive a better experience from them than older games. There is no way for him to show this resolution is correct. If one demographics or one group of people have a better experience with older games, his statement is wrong. There are such a vast amount of variables that play into the experience someone has with a game, that it is impossible to judge or claim which generation is better or preferred. Thus my adversary has not or will not meet his BOP with this claim. ALSONote under his defintion of old which is the 2,000s wow and LOL, are old games. They still contain bad graphics and all the basics from when they were made. Just with these two games alone, there is a 10 million + fan base.
