15 Facts About Gaming In 2015 That’ll Blow Your Mind

5. 42% Of Americans Play For 3 Or More Hours A Week

You might scoff at three hours thanks to the year we've had - with social life-stealers Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid V and Batman: Arkham Knight vying for your attention - but if you think of the average consumer and think of their consumptive habits, a three hour session is essentially like any given week's atypical movie slot.

It's rare you'd visit the cinema more than once a week unless some landmark release was out, and that's without factoring in the three hour baseline stated here is a minimum.

The average length of a game is around the 10-15 hour mark, so thought of that way, it means you're getting a good week's worth of content out of your chosen title - far more bang for your buck than a film or most TV shows.
