Fewer children play video game consoles due to high costs and a lack of family-friendly games

Console gaming faces declining youth engagement due to high prices and a lack of child-focused titles from major publishers. The cost of consoles and games is prohibitive for younger players, while companies like Sony and Microsoft have largely abandoned the family-friendly market, leaving Nintendo as the primary provider. This trend results in an aging player base and raises concerns about the long-term viability of the triple-A console market.
