This first generation of parents who ”grew up as gamers” value the industry. Natal and such ”developmentally appropriate” for preschoolers.
This deal between Sesame and Warner may see launches on Xbox 360, PS3 and the Wii no doubt. Thanks to Natal and the PS3 Wand, next-gen is appealing to muppets so releases on the two platforms could be assured.
”This is the first generation of parents who grew up as gamers,” said Warner Bros’ Russel Arons, reports Joystiq. ”Unlike prior generations where people weren’t sure of the value of video games, these are people who know there’s value and fun for the whole family.”
Terry Fitzpatrick of Sesame Workshop says casual-based input ”makes it very easy and is developmentally appropriate for preschoolers, as opposed to dealing with a very complex controller.” No Devil May Cry-like combo moves for Elmo then? Now I feel sad.
Are you a Sesame Street fan? Maybe you’re a first gen parent gamer?
