Adults Spend More Time Gaming than Teens, Report Says

London -- About one-third of adult gamers spend 10 or more hours
per week playing video games, compared with just 11% of teens
(12-17), according to a survey conducted by the Consumer
Electronics Association (CEA). The survey also found that PC
games dominate the adult game market, which could be supported
by the fact that female gamers -- who prefer free online games --
outnumber male gamers in the 25-34 age demographic. "The fact
that adults are racking up more gaming hours than teens is
startling, but there are several associated findings that shed light
on this," said CEA senior analyst Steve Koenig.
