Computer and video game use is widespread with 67 percent of American households playing, according to new research from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). The study also reveals the social nature of today’s game play with 62 percent of American gamers reporting they play with other gamers in person at least one hour a week and 48 percent of parents reporting they play with their children at least once a week. The association today released these findings as part of its annual Essential Facts About the Computer and Video Game Industry report.
“Computer and video games are now available to consumers on every screen from smart phones to computers to flat screen televisions. This enables millions of Americans to enjoy the immersive storytelling, incredible graphics, and compelling plot lines,” said Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of the ESA, the trade association representing U.S. computer and video game publishers. “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.”
