It’s a sad, sad day to be an older dude.
The NPD Group has recently published a report (via CNET) that shows that 2-17 year-olds in the United States are playing more games on phones and tablets than on consoles. Mobile games are taken up by 63% of the demographic, compared to 60% on consoles.
Two years ago, consoles were used by 67% of children as compared to 63% on mobile devices. That’s a big swing.
Worse yet for the “master race”, PC gaming registered at 67% in 2013 and is at 45% today.
Do you think this shift towards mobile devices is because most of us are using our smartphones and tablets more often?
