Nielsen's survey was conducted for more than 2,000 men and women ages 13 and older living in the United States.

The proportion of so-called "gamers" who are playing games among people over the age of 13 is increasing year by year, reaching 64% in 2016.


If you divide gamers into "people who use game-specific machines like PS4 and Nintendo Switch" and "people who use smartphones and tablets" and "people who use PCs", even if they include surveys for the past three years The one with a high proportion is "people who play games only on one device (red)." Next, "People who play games on two devices (pink)" and "People who play games with three or more devices (light pink)" have become. According to the survey results in 2017, it is noticeable that the percentage of "people who play games only on one device" is increasing rather than the result of the previous year.


The graph below shows the question of "Do you play games on smartphones or tablets?" To the general public over the age of 13. Red is the percentage of people who are "not playing games on smart phones and tablets", and the percentage of people that pink is "playing games on smart phones and tablets". Although more than half of respondents in 2013 answered that they are not playing games on smart phones and tablets, the proportion of playing games year after year is getting higher, saying "play games on smart phones and tablets" I turned to majority.


This is the result of investigating which platform gamers like most about playing games on this platform. 47% of players enjoy playing games using game-specific machines, followed by 27% enjoying PC games, and 26% enjoying games on mobile devices.


Then, the following graph shows the result of investigating "What game machine have you heard?" GENERAL POPULATION (general population) "that summarizes the answer results of the entire survey target," GAMERS (gamer) "the layer that plays the game among them," NON-GAMERS (people who are not gamers) who does not do " It is divided into. Whichever result I find out that PS4 is the most famous game machine, but a little surprising is that Nintendo Switch is lower in recognition than PS4 Pro in the layer that does not play games.


And when I investigated about "gaming machines I would like to purchase in the future", the result was as follows. The proportion of the general population including the population that pink does not play games, red indicates the ratio in the gamer. The game machine that is thought to be most purchased is PS 4, followed by Xbox One / Xbox One S, Nintendo Switch, PS 4 Pro,Project Scorpio(The latest model of Xbox that is coming soon). Nintendo Switch, which is said to be "most want to purchase" among game maker's newest terminals such as Nintendo Switch, PS4 Pro and Scorpio, but demand is lower than PS 4 and Xbox One which have already been several years since its release To the results. Still it may be a good number if you consider the difference in brand name with PS4 or Xbox One.


In Nielsen 's GAMES 360 US REPORT 2017, the question "whether you buy a game package or digital version", "how much game you are playing in a week", "how much money are spent on the game in a month" Results are also reported.
