To be fair, i'm only 20.

Really? Wow! I thought I was in the younger end of the spectrum bieng in my thirties...you're all making me feel old.

I feel like this thread has turned into a "June 2015 NeoGAF poster age predictions" thread.

Here are my predictions:

[1 post after this one] Age 21
[4 posts after this one] Age 29
[7 posts after this one] Age 19

I got these numbers based off the average Amazon user's age for the month of June.

School isn't that bad unless you are sitting for the examination of your life at the end of the year. Unfortunately, I am But after that's all done, I'll be getting a PS4

If only i was as focused as you.

Also, as a side note, I'm surprised people were shocked to find out that I'm 17. My username literally states the year of my birth

Ha. That's true. Forum names and gamer ID's that end in numbers usually mean that.

To be fair, i'm only 20.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

I'm surprised at how young some of you guys are.

Spoiler

I'm 22 btw

 

[idlewild_]

So many youngins, these threads make so much more sense now

Spoiler

get off my lawn

 

[Primethius]

Suddenly, I feel much older then I should.

Thanks guys.

 

[Javin98]

If only i was as focused as you.

I don't have much of an option, really. Like I said, it's an examination that essentially determines your future. And since I aspire to be a video game designer, it is very important for me to do well.

To be fair, i'm only 20.

But seriously, with all your expertise in graphs and sales data, I expected you to be older.

That's what college does to you, so I believe him xD

 

[ZhugeEX]

No one believes me when I say i'm 20 but I am.

I've been with the company i'm currently with since I was 16 and worked my way into a role where I work with a lot of data, so i've used a lot of that experience to understand the video game market and analyse the data that's available.

I did a degree in business/leadership part time when I was working.

holy fuck, I'm mindblown to learn that I'm older than you.

Are you only 1% older though?

So you're all kids after all?

So does my User name

 

[Darth Smurf X]

Nailed it.

But you forgot.

Also... I feel old.

I expected Zhuge to be my age... I was WAY off.

Dude, you know more about industry trends than most people doing it for 20 years.

I don't think Vena is that old

It's strange just how young Sales-Age gaffers are.

Here's a histogram with GAF's median ages.

Could you illustrate this in a Kucherian pie chart?

Thanks haha, although i'm sure there are loads of people who know more about the industry than me. I'm not an expert by any means.

I have a passion for the mobile industry (which is where my true expertise lies in my current job role) and the video game industry.

I've had this passion since a young age and constantly push myself to understand more about each industry and I love working with data which is something I do in my current role. It's why I constantly write reports on GAF in order to share the knowledge I currently have but more importantly to learn from the community here.I consider yourself to be one of the most valuable members on this forum along with some others who post here as well.

 

[Mister Megative]

I'm 34. So I guess I'm right where the norm is?

Also, I see Zhuge changed his avatar. Again. Will this madness ever end?

There are just sooooo many options!

0.0 I'm shocked. Didn't realize that was your birth year. 97

Also Gaffers are old.

 

[Mass Effect]

To be fair, i'm only 20.

I was not expecting you to be that young. Not like I can talk though, I'm only 2 years older.

Also, why did you change your avatar? I was a fan of the previous one.

It's strange just how young Sales-Age gaffers are.

Here's a histogram with GAF's median ages.

I like how it says Earth years in parenthesis. As opposed to what, Martian years? lol

Also, GAF's average age is slightly higher than I thought it'd be.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

much more than that.

it's been a good while since this has happened.

Not really every other thread I've seen someone always points out the 1% reference, mostly Zhuge's threads xD

I think he was talking about the avatar quote. I'm 99% sure you're right about the 1%.

Oh, in that case yeah, haven't seen the avatar quote in like a month.

nice play on words

Forgive me for getting off topic, but does anyone know why Reaper and Nyarlathotep are banned?

maybe someone should rework the chart instead of earth years as :

"mario games since birth"

or

"Console generation demographic "

I'm a first gen , first mario myself (older than frogger lol)

 

[slavesnyder]

No wonder the industry is declining when youth is discussing sales data instead of spending their pocket money on games.

 

[Jigorath]

They were banned for asking why other users were banned.

Spoiler

I have no idea.

 

[Abdiel]

I'm 28, so I feel a good bit older than most of you now. Oh well.

Huh, some of you guys are old. Feel kind of young being only 21.

You make me feel better, because I'm 39.

Better be.

Sort of. CJ_Iwakura is doing banners and OmegaDL50 is taking care of character bios and mechanics. Everything else is mine. I didn't plan on going overboard with this OT, I'm not an art major. It'll probably be styled similarly to the Rocket League one

I'm at the peak of youth for a slab a tungsten-180.

Below is a quick look at the gap in sales between PS4 and XB1 in the USA for each calendar year.

In CY2014 we saw the PlayStation 4 sell through approximately 4.7 million units to end users whilst the Xbox One sold through approximately 4.4 million units to end users. The total gap for CY2014 was in favour of Sony who sold through over 300,000 more PlayStation 4 units compared to Microsoft's Xbox One. However, as shown by the 2014 line below the gap was not always that low, in fact the PlayStation 4 held a lead of over 900,000 units by October and it's clear that the Xbox One closed the gap during the final two months of the year.

In Calendar 2015 we can see that the PlayStation 4 is again in the lead with more than 200,000 additional units sold this year already compared to Xbox One. However the graph hasn't been as steep as CY2014 due to the small gap in monthly sales during April and May. June will be interesting to watch as forecasts show that the PlayStation 4 is due to have a lead over the Xbox One thanks to a number of factors, the main one being the Batman bundles being sold at retail.

Please take a look-

*Please note that all numbers quoted above are estimated and rounded based on publicly posted data.

Dood, Disgaea was one of the few games that I started playing religiously when it came out. I almost flamed out of my university because of it. XD

 

[Inuhanyou]

I'm 26, all these young kids getting into sales and stuff feels weird. Back when i was a teen, i was nowhere near as 'aware' of this kind of stuff at all
