Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) - A new study finds that video games are more widespread in American society, and gamers are getting older. Research from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) shows 67 percent of households in the United States are playing video games.
An average of 62 percent of Americans play with others, known as multiplayer, at least once a week. Among those households, 48 percent of parents are playing games with their children.
The study also found that the average gamer is older than what most people might think; the average player is 34 years old, while the average purchaser is even older at 40.
"Computer and video games are now available to consumers on every screen from smart phones to computers to flat screen televisions," ESA President and CEO Michael D. Gallagher explained. "This enables millions of Americans enjoy the immersive storytelling, incredible graphics, and compelling plot lines."
"These works of art are a fun and engaging way to bring people together, especially families who are playing video games together now more than ever," Gallagher added.
