I doubt many people of any age are buying the newest video games. I think video game popularity has gone steadily down since the original Nintendo NES 8 bit peak. And you’d be extremely wrong! Video game trends and statisticsUS Gamers I might be extremely wrong. I haven't conducted any sweeping surveys. Your links however do not show that I am wrong. They only show statistics for one year each. One link shows 2016, the other shows 2017, statistics. There is no data for earlier years and nothing to indicate video game usage was not very much higher in those years as I claimed. There are other problems with your claim. That does not indicate the devices are new. I own two NES game consoles and more than 50 NES game cartridges and still use them. I would be counted in that 48% . I would also be counted if I did not use them. Do you really count all the "games" on PCs in the same category as on dedicated consoles? You realize that includes o lot of solitaire and mahjong and Scrabble? The deceptive thing about those figures is that it appears over half of the population is playing video games. That is not what is says. There might be only 4% of the population playing video games. If 59% of those are male then that's only 2.36 percent of the population. 4% is only a guess though. Your sites do not show and I can only guess what the actual percentage is. |
