Posted by Zonk on from the what-we-do-and-why-we-do-it dept.

Gamasutra reports on findings from a large Nielsen survey on gaming and consumer choices. From the article: "The survey also revealed that 57% of active gamers have played online, with free casual online games the most used, and a notable 21% having played MMO games. While online-enabled console, MMO and gambling gamers are disproportionately male -- 76% vs. 24% -- casual gamers who play free online games such as puzzles are just as likely to be women as men, 49% vs. 51% respectively."

    I've done quite a few surveys to get into Microsoft beta testing. They ask you how many hours you've played certain games. If you lie, you get into the test. If you are truthful you have much lower chances. I always lie.

    Wonder how skewed those results would be?
