GameSpot reports that the NPD Group has found through a survey that 72% of the United States population plays video games in some form, up from 64% the year before.

“The survey also yielded a number of other findings. The NPD Group’s findings showed that about half of online gamers are 25 or older. The group said 40 percent of online gamers are under 18, while the 18-24 age group holds only 10 percent of online gamers. Finally, the survey found ownership of multiple current-generation consoles is rare, with only 3 percent of respondents saying they owned two of the three major home systems, and 2 percent claiming to have all three.”
