How Much Do You Spend on Games?

This press release has the startling results of a survey on gaming habits
conducted by market research outfit GameStrata. They surveyed North American
gamers, learning that the average expenditure on games and hardware is $765 per
year, which adds up to whopping $30,500 from ages 18-48, which they describe as
the group's "peak gaming years." They also provide a little analysis of
preferences, saying: A strong correlation between the frequency of
digital purchases and Xbox 360 ownership suggests that the Xbox 360 is the
preferred console for the consumption of digital content. Additionally, online
multiplayer capabilities are more important than ever, with the vast majority of
respondents claiming they prefer to spend most of their time gaming with others
on Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network (PSN).
