Games are being played more than ever during the recession, but gamers are spending less money on new titles and more on used and rented ones, according to a new report published by Nielson Games.
Based on research carried out on 2400 gamers – defined as people playing a home console or PC for at least one hour per week – 42 per cent aged 7-54 claim to either be playing, or planning to play, more games this year than last year. 41 per cent say they will play the same amount as last year.
Meanwhile, 35 per cent of respondents say they are spending, or planning to spend, more money on games this year, and 39 per cent say they will spend the same.
