We often see a view that the rise of mobile gaming has led to a decline in the host and PC gaming markets, as players spend more time playing mobile games than host games. But a few days ago, the American Entertainment Software Association (entertainment Software Association,esa) produced a research report that brought up some interesting new ideas.

The survey was made in the form of a questionnaire that was issued and withdrawn, and the survey report was summed up by questionnaires from 3,264 American players. Although the statistical means are not necessarily accurate (for example, people who submit questionnaires are usually those who are interested in the topic, which leads to confirmation errors), the report gives some interesting conclusions.

According to the report, One-third of Americans aged 13 or older are playing mobile games. Of these mobile gamers, Two-thirds said that the time they played on other platforms, such as PCs or hosts, was not reduced by mobile gaming. Half of the players said their game time was still fairly stable, while 11% said they spent more time playing games.

The report also has the view that the growth of mobile games actually brings more business opportunities to the overall gaming market. 42% of mobile gamers buy a host because they love a mobile version of a game. There are 22% of mobile gamers who have never played games before, including these players, and 46% of players don't play games very often.

In response to the report, ESA CEO Michael D. Gallagher says the wave of mobile games reflects the very active nature of the gaming industry, where consumers want to play games anywhere, which is good for the industry as a whole.

In fact, the report on the Chinese gaming industry also has some inspiration. China's host games and PC games market has not developed, and the rapid expansion of the mobile gaming market may also be some players who did not play the game before the host and the PC game market, which for the development of the overall game market in China has a positive significance.
