Nintendo Parenting

WGN news story on Video Game Addiction.
Personally I think the story is on the alarmist side of things.
We're at the cusp right now of having a whole generation of video gaming parents. I call them Generation Nintendo. When the NES arrived in North America in 1985, it recreated the video game market that had died with the Atari. My parents didn't really understand video games, but they knew about them, and just like any other form of activity, they kept it under moderation, which was fairly easy to do since I had a stay-at-home mom. However, modern families are ones in which both parents work, and children are left under no adult supervision. It was TV and video games that became the babysitters of the latchkey kids of my generation. Those latchkey kids have grown up into the modern video gamer. There's a reason why the game centers around the 18-35 year old target market. That's where the "hump" of the bell curve is -- as you approach the edges, the curve gets lower and flatter. That's where most parents with teenage children are going to be -- the flat part of the curve.
The Mom in this video seems to be in her late-forties to mid-fifties. Based on the video, I'm going to arbitrarily put her boys' ages at 13, 15 and 17. if she's 48 then Nintendo would have appeared when she was 30, and she likely wouldn't have really become exposed to it, and assuming her husband didn't play games, her children wouldn't have been exposed until elementary school. But honestly, this issue is nothing new. What makes this news?
In 10 - 20 years, when the people of Generation Nintendo start having teen-aged kids, it'll be interesting to see if we become our parents.
