You're Too Old to Play

Apple introduced its social-gaming network, which like any other social network depends on the public to be successful. The lauch of Game Center went along with the release of iOS 4.1, which was released the same day. The new iOS update is necessary to run Game Center. Apple released a list of compatible devices including the iPhone 4 and 3GS and the last three generations of the iPod Touch. The iPhone 3G and the first versions of the iPod Touch were left off the list without explanation.

I believe Apple left the older generations off on purpose so that the Apple consumers would have no option but to get buy the new devices. I think it will be interesting to see if more people purchase the an updated version of their device to be able to access Game Center. Honestly, I don't see that happening.
