When, Where, do People play What Games using Which Device?

The BBC has just released a really good in-depth report on how people game in the United Kingdom.
Not only does it provide details for six age groups (6-10, 11-15, 16-24, 25-35, 36-50, 51-65) and two genders, they also make distinctions between different platforms down to cell phones, and let us get a peek at personal motivations for playing as well as important players find games compared to other media. It’s a treat.

– How many people are playing games in the UK?
– How, where, when and why they play games?
– When is the family television used as a monitor for a console?
– The context in which gaming plays a role in people?s lives?
– Do people play games in isolation, or in a social situation?
– How does the public?s relationship with radio, television and mobile devices affect the games they play?
– What value do people place on the time spent playing?

Promising well for the future, the 6-10 and the 11-15 rank video games as the most important medium they are using.
