I have a huge problem with this. First of all, what is this “limited age” range that they are referring too? 6-17 year olds?

Secondly I would argue that most gamers that have handheld systems are younger too.

PC Gamers are typically an older demographic as well, and they are being cut out of the survey.

Very inconsistent survey…
