Families can be brought closer together if they all sit down and play a videogame.That is according to Disney, which has suggested that due to the range of games currently available on the market there is something for everybody, and that a family can now have fun playing something together as a unit.
Thierry Braille, Disney vice president, told GamesIndustry.biz that videogames can be really good at unifying families.
He said: "We have titles that are for a younger audience, but there are more titles, such as High School Musical that could gather the family, after the Sunday lunch maybe, and we can imagine them singing together.
"This is Disney - this inclusive way to bring the family together and have fun."
In addition, he noted that the games industry has seen a "very beneficial contribution" from Nintendo's various consoles and that although the cost of developing new platforms is rising this is not necessarily a bad thing because publishers are making games "of the highest quality".
