The Wii’s sales popularity has declined to a record low, with the poorly performing Wii U failing to provide a balancing revenue boost for Nintendo. Sony and Microsoft will be hoping that their next-generation consoles do better on release in December 2013, and strong pre-order numbers do seem to paint a rosier picture. All is not as well with the handheld market though; poor portable sales for both Sony and Nintendo were rectified only through drastic price cuts, which suggest the handheld market has been too badly damaged by casual smartphone gaming to ever recover to previous levels.

Lifestyle Of Over 55 Years - Brazil - September 2013
: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/175955

The world population is aging and young adults increasingly delaying plans to start a family. This change in the demographic profile, with fewer parts, is so intense in Brazil. Over the last fifty years, the percentage of seniors nearly doubled and the estimates, with the improvement in life expectancy, which is quadruple by 2060. In contrast, Brazilian women have their first child later and later, with projections for 29 years after 2030. Not passing a maximum of two children.

This scenario implies, among other changes in social, a broad participation of adults aged 55 + in the economy and future business development, which should focus increasingly their needs. Something that just happens today, since the reality is that six in ten earn less than two minimum wages (up to 1,400 dollars), most live with family (with children or family of children) and few have financial independence or dedicated the small budget just to own spending and leisure.

Mobile Apps - US - September 2013
: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/175932

The high app engagement level of Millennials makes them a lucrative target and companies targeting the demographic should consider their particular interests. This generation is more willing to pay for apps, and while ad revenue is still a major part of generating income for developers they must ensure their ads are not intrusive. Personalizing ad content and offerings to the app user can be effective and if it is related to their interests it makes the ad inherently less invasive.
