Multi-Play network (Compile/fall-Xuan) The U.S. market research agency NPD Group said in Thursday that in the United States, people spend an average of more than a year on the game. The average American player is over 2 years old and spends an average of 13 hours a week on a variety of games.　　One type of player, NPD calls it extreme gamers, who spend an average of more than 48.5 hours a week on the game, which accounts for 4% of the entire game group. Overall, the time spent on host games by American players grew by 9%, the time spent on PC games grew by 6%, and the time spent on portable games dropped by 16%.　　The average player's age also grew slightly, with an average age of 32 in 2010 and a 31-year-old figure in 09. NPD did not provide us with accurate game sales reports, but said the games bought online accounted for 17% of the entire market, up 16% from 09.　　Players are more receptive to games than ever, and the number of games purchased has increased, as are the sales of host games and portable game consoles. NPD said the survey was based on data collected online in January, with 18,872 participants in the poll.
