Online gaming stat roundup

22 April 2010

This awesome infographic was created by OnlineMBA, an online research firm.

Apart from its awesome design, it also shares some pretty interesting information, although it is worth noting that it is limited to the US gaming market.

Interestingly Xbox 360 gamers spend the most time gaming per week on average, which is at odds with the common perception that console gamers tend to be more casual than PC gamers.

Also interesting, was that 42% of gamers are supposedly female, a statistic which I for one find quite hard to believe.

Activision will take note of the 4.1million illegal downloads that Modern Warfare 2 saw on PC, more than 4 times as many as the game was pirated for Xbox 360.
