Thirty-seven percent of the U.S. population, ages nine and above, play PC games, according to a recent report.
The population examined includes teenagers, as well as older gamers, too, according to The NPD Group. People were split into three different segments according to types of games and number of hours played: Heavy core (more than five hours per week), light core (less than five hours per week, and casual (those who primarily play online or social games).
Casual gamers compose the largest group, constituting 56 percent of the PC gamer population; light core sits at 24 percent. And although heavy core gamers are the smallest group –– at 20 percent –– the members spent about twice as much money as casual gamers in the last three months on digital and physical games.
