Study Finds Gamers More Social
Gamers may be more social than others might lead you to believe – at least, according to a survey commissioned by IGN, anyway.
The 3000 respondent survey was conducted by researchers at Ipsos, in which they found out that single gamers were twice as likely as non-gamers to go out on a date. Gamers were also by a slight margin more likely to be non-romantically social.
Interestingly, gaming households on average had substantially more money than non-gaming households – $79,000 versus $54,000 annually. Gamers also tended to be the cultural influence, reporting their family and friends on pop culture and technology.
"It’s obvious that the gaming market has outgrown many commonly held stereotypes about the relative homogeneity of video gamers," said Adam Wright, research director for Ipsos.
