IDSA's Video Game Consumer Research Data WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 2002--According to a national poll released today by the
Interactive Digital Software Association (IDSA), the association representing computer and video game software publishers, more than one third of all Americans (36%) plan to give or receive a computer or video game this holiday season.
"More than sixty percent of Americans play computer and video games," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Interactive Digital Software Association, the trade group that represents U.S. computer and video game software publishers, "So it's not surprising that so many people of all ages plan to give and receive games during the upcoming holidays."
According to the national poll conducted by KRC Research for the IDSA during the last week of October, almost half (46%) of adults who have children living at home say they plan on giving one or more computer or video games as a gift this holiday season, while more than four in 10 (43%) adults age 25 to 44 will give the gift of games.
As for those hoping to receive a game, about one in four (24%) adults age 18-24 say they expect to receive one or more computer or video games as a gift this holiday season.
