Men like video games: official

Drakon · Apr 8, 2005, 09:50 PM

The very latest figures from research group Nielsen Entertainment confirm that - in the same way that sky is blue and the sea notably wet - men like video games and are spending increasing amounts of wonga to feed their lust for console-based gratification.

Indeed, the numbers suggest that chaps now shell out more cash on games than on music, although DVDs still hold the number one spot in blokes' affections. What's more, the gaming demographic is getting older, with almost a quarter of all gamers over the age of 40.

I'm a PCGamer don't know if that figures into the mix, but I certainly will not stop anytime soon. I am currently 20 almost 21. I also like a console game now and again, but my real love is going out to a LAN party, driving my computer and myself to some businesses confrence room and having a "heart-to-heart" with someone else and an in-game shotgun
