The Electronic Software Association just posted the results of their annual poll on consumer gaming. The most interesting piece of information to come out is that less than half of American homes (48%) have been determined to own a dedicated gaming console. This is the first time that the number has dipped below 50% in a few years, as 2013, 2014 and 2015 all held steady at 51%. The survey was conducted across a total of 4,000 households.
However, that's not to say that this number reflects the number of households who play games. Quite the opposite. The survey determined that 65% of households own some form of gaming platform, but this includes tablets, smartphones and PC's.
It's unsuprising that these numbers are what they are. Simply put, there are more people playing games than there's ever been and mobile platforms (smartphones especially) are the most convenient there is.
