Online Gaming Habits Surveyed

Posted by simoniker on Monday August 16, 2004 @11:52AM from the person-versus-person dept.

Thanks to Business Wire/TMCNet for its press release summarizing the details of a new NPD survey about online gaming. It's noted that "the overwhelming majority of today's 13-to-44-year-old gamers have the ability to play games online and a good portion are taking advantage of it, but it's dominated by one platform - the PC." Other statistics include online console demographics ("PlayStation 2 and Xbox skew heavily male, with approximately 88 percent being male and 12 percent being female") and the mobile gaming market ("Roughly 10 percent of those who said they play online are strictly mobile-based gamers and do not use any of the three online-capable systems.")

emailing the survey by adamshelley · 2004-08-16 11:58 · Score: 5, Insightful

chances are if you are emailing the survey the person has a PC and has gamed on it online.

this is a flawed approach.

u need to find people without a pc (no email) and find out if they play online with a console.

no wonder PC won.
