However, there is one link that I would like to direct you to and that is here: http://www.grabstats.com/statcategorymain.asp?StatCatID=13. This site has compiled, and referenced, many industry statistics to create a profile of who plays video games. The following are some of my favorite statistics:
- 65% of american households play video games
- The average age of a gamer is 35 years old
- 40% of all gamers are female
- Women 18 years and older make up 33% of gamers while boys 17 years old and younger only make up 18% of gamers
- 63% of parents believe games are a positive part of their children's lives
There are many more statistics, so feel free to visit the link if you would like to read more. The lesson here is that gamers are all around you . They are not always hiding in their parents basements with cheese puff encrusted fingers. So if you hear someone talking about games, do not look down on them, they are actualy in the majority. If you have never played a game, try it, you just might like it. One last thing, if you are trying to get your spouse to play with you, Little Big Planet for the PlayStation 3 is instant fun for anyone to play together. Just be careful, you may get hooked.
