While consumers continue to cut back on spending during this economic downturn, there’s one area where we’re not so willing to concede: video games.
According to eMarketer, U.S. Internet users will reduce the amount of money spent on dining out by 57% while only 35% of respondents to the survey – which was conducted by NPD Group – said they’d give up game time.
That’s good news for video game sponsors and in-game advertisers when you consider that more than 80% of American adults ages 18 to 29 are gamers, according to Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Now … if only the Wii knew how to work an oven.
