NPD details gamer demographic research
Posted by XanTium | August 11 23:58 EST | News Category: GamingGeneral
From shacknews.com: [QUOTE] Using information gathered back in January and February, the report separated the North American game-playing populace into the following seven categories, totaling 174 million gamers: * Young Heavy Gamers: 22% * Seconday Gamers: 20% * Console Games: 17% * Offline PC Gamers: 15% * Online PC Gamers: 14% * Avid PC Gamers: 9% * Extreme Gamers: 3%
Though PCs were "used more than any single console for gaming," NPD stressed that "Console Gamers, Young Heavy Gamers and Extreme Gamers are more likely to use consoles than a PC to play video games."
In addition to stating that PlayStation 3 owners are most likely to have other "next-generation" consoles than Wii and Xbox 360 owners, NPD claimed that only 10% of PS2 owners have a PS3. [/QUOTE]
