More Than Half of the US Plays Videogames

The newest NPD numbers pass on a heartening statistic about the adoption of games: more than half of the US population plays videogames via some method. "Most people said that per week, they're either playing just as many or less hours than they did last year. Thirty percent said that they play more than a year ago, while another 30 percent said they play less and 40 percent say that they play the same amount of hours. Males aged 18-34 continue to be the heaviest gamers and are more attracted to hardcore games as opposed to casual games."

    yeah uh... not all games are FPSs fool how about you take a look into some other genres
    I dont think we should use the term "hardcore gamers" for people with tunnel vision when it comes to what games they will play

    it should only apply to the crazies like me, who will play nearly anything as long as its not yet another jap RPG
