A scientific survey by AOL Games into the prevalence of video gaming in America has revealed some interesting statistics; according to the results of the nationwide poll, almost half of all American consumers have played games, either on a console, PC or Cellphone/PDA.
Adults are also stealing the percentage of total players away from the teenage age bracket - two in five of the adults polled (aged 18-55) play games, 10% of those have admitted they've actually become addicted to playing, and a quarter of all the adults polled said they have played games all night until the sun came up.
Almost half of the adults feel there is too much violence in gaming, and 66% would go as far as saying the government should ban the selling of violent or sexually explicit games to under-eighteens.
I haven't been able to find a page to link to on AOL Games, so I've reproduced the press release in the Discussion link below.
