Gaming

Digital Media Wire covers the latest report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project which reveals that more than half (53%) of all American adults play video games, with younger adults playing the most (obviously??)and game play decreasing as age increases,

Eighty-one percent of young adults (ages 18-29) said they play video games, compared with 23% of those 65 or older. While younger adults are still more likely to play games, among older adults (65-plus) who play games, nearly a third play every day, compared to 20% of younger players.

Pew also found that age plays a role in determining which gaming platform players prefer. Overall, the U.S. adult gaming population prefers to play games on computers (73%), followed by consoles (53%), cell phones (35%) and portable gaming devices (25%). However, among young adults, game consoles are most popular (75%) followed by computers (68%).
