60% Of Kids Play Games Every Day
Next Generation has a piece up stating that, according to a JuniorSenior Research poll, something like 60% of all children play video games every day. From the article: "39% of the children polled said they were happy to pay a high price for games they especially wanted, and said they had saved up to buy a particular game. A third of children say their friends are the primary resource for information about new games, signaling the absolute importance of playground evangelists. Surprisingly a quarter of kids say advertising is a key source of information, while only 10% say they rely on TV shows."
Indeed.
It's usually the parents paying for the broadband internet service, the burner and media. Though it's usually the children who pay the high price of sitting for hours looking for the best sources to download the game or just the price of waiting for it to download.
