U.S. And.. Iceland Dominate Online FPS Stats

Posted by simoniker on from the too-cold-to-mouselook dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the CSports survey showing that, over the online gaming networks they monitor, the U.S. has the most online FPS gamers, but Iceland comes out on top in terms of minutes played per person, taking into consideration the entire population of the country. The article elaborates: "Our analysis.. shows that the Nordic countries are generally the most online game crazy. Top of the charts by a country mile are the 280,000 or so Icelanders who clock in with over 7 hours of online fps game play per capita per year."

    In the top countries are

    1) Iceland
    2) Sweeden
    5) Norway
    6) Finland

    Something to do with the long depressing nights at those altitudes? Some people spend time in sauna's, some write Linux, some play FPS's.

    Many of the others near the top, San Marino (3), Liechenstein (7), Singapore (10), Gibralter (11), Macau (12) are tiny countries so the stats may seem a little off - they lack the rural rednecks (and their equivelents) that bring the U.S, UK, and Germany's per capita stats down.

    The non-nordic sutibally large countries are Denmark, Netherlands, Austrailia, and the U.S.
