More people than ever are playing video games

Nielsen says gaming on mobile devices like phones and tablets is beginning to slow down. The firm says that 63 percent of console gamers also played mobile games in 2017, which is down from 66 percent last year.

While PC gaming has seen staggering growth worldwide, American gamers still prefer consoles. 47 percent of gamers prefer consoles, while 27 percent prefer PC gaming, Nielsen says. Of those surveyed, 46 percent are playing on just one device, while those with multiple gaming devices make up just 38 percent.

Depending on who you ask, consoles, PC, and mobile are all on their way out, but it seems more people are gaming than ever and, at least in America, they’re doing it on consoles more than anywhere else. No matter how you slice it, though, gaming isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
