Notas do Editor
- The chronic cultural myth of about videogames is this guy. A lonely numbed-out, anti social guy in his teens or twenties sitting in his basement playing video games.
- Big and diverse and engaged Based on our internal research, we know there are 118 Miiion Active Gamers in these countries. Active gamer households are those in which someone has played at least one hour in the last week and purchased a game on any platform in the last year. This means about half of all households are Active Gamer households. That percentage increases to 81% among households with kids age 6+. 83MM console 76MM mobile 94MM PC 48MM HH
- Note that Film includes all parts, not just box office ($33B, Games are way bigger) Most entertainment categories: Flat. Games are growing at a faster clip. There are other indicators that are pretty telling on this front too…
- And these people are engaged More gamers playing more games on more platforms for more hours. While number of households has remained steady vs. 2011, we’ve seen growth in the number of games played, driven by the proliferation of gaming options on all platforms. And importantly much of the growth has come from iOS and Android devices like smartphones and tablet. Mobile games have lowered the barrier to entry to nothing, creating almost frictionless access to the category. And the choices they’re finding are keeping them engaged and they’re willing to pay Gameplay hours are up for the 4th year in a row. We also seen in just the last year a growth in the number of hours per month gamers game, from 24 hours in 2011 to 27.2 in 2012. Part of what has swelled our ranks is the proliferation of devices on which to game, Variety of genres meeting a wide range of taste cultures How do people play? It’s part of their entertainment lifestyle. Most people, play a bit, pretty regularly. Not unlike watching TV most nights our of the week. If you average it out, in fact – It’s grown to about an hour a day. It also looks like gamers are playing games wherever they are – fewer and fewer are “Console gamers” or “PC gamers”
- Note: Male/female is pretty evenly split at all age ranges Becoming More Casual and More Hard Core We’re seeing growth at both ends of the spectrum, driven by different platforms Average Age Still 25… but Age Range is Expanding Share of gamers age 8-9 nearly doubled since 2010 60% are age 13-34
- Among all Active Games, Males are 55%, Females are 45% Female gamers age 35+ grew from 3.4 to 5.3 million in one year, mostly due to PC/Mac and Mobile gaming Console gamers/disc buyers still predominantly male How are male & female gamers different Genres, platforms, hours played– tasting vs. gorging What’s common is the fact that they do play
- Play is a fundamental human pursuit Playing video games is an extension of what we’ve always done Video games are just a different vehicle to express a human imperative to play Senet, the ‘game of passing’ or ‘journey of the dead’, was played in predynastic Egypt (3100 B.C) Chinese board game liubo was immensely popular during the Han Dynasty (202 B.C) Chaturanga , ancient Indian game that is the common ancestor of chess (1500 A.D) The British Mansion of Happiness (1843) was a 66 space spiral track game depicting various Christian virtues and vices
- Play is a fundamental human pursuit Playing video games is an extension of what we’ve always done– Marshall Mc Luhan Any tech that exists is merely an extension of some already existing human capacity. Video games are just a different vehicle to express the human imperative to play New devices and forms of video game play has just introduced videogaming to new day parts and new places. And iOS and android devices have made it more socially acceptible to bring play into places where it did not previous exist– e.g. meetings, trains, busses, toilet stall etc.
