    I wouldn’t be surprised if book readers spend 92% of their time on older books. Or if music listeners spend 92% of their time on older pieces.

      Especially if “older” means two years or older.

        According to the article, they mean 6 years old or older.

          No, they said 67% at 6y or older, but 92% at more than 2 years old

            Oh, okay. Seems odd to call a 2 year old game an “older” game.

              Well, at 2 years it is probably older than at least one other game.

                True, but literally any game can be an “older” game by that definition.

      True, though both of those industries also use a hype cycle to try and shift new content at much higher prices, though every book and CD that ever existed is probably in a second-hand shop somewhere.
