The NPD Group released the results for their study of online gaming habits. The study
targeted the 13-44 demographic and not surprisingly, concluded that the majority of online gaming is spent on the
PC. One interesting find, 10 percent of respondents stick strictly to mobile-based games—"they're close to
competing with the console systems for the attention of online gamers," says Richard Ow (NPD). Another
interesting find, males outnumber females 53% to 47% on the PC, but the numbers grow way apart when we're looking at
PS2 & Xbox, try 88% to 12%. Finally, the average time spent playing games online is 6.1 hours (compared to 5
offline hours).
