Nielsen's extensive survey of demographic, age and gender trends in the video game space found that as of August, about 117 million people in the U.S. qualified as "active gamers," meaning they spend at least one hour per week on a gaming device. That's up from 112 million last year. Of the active gamers, 56% play games online, and 64% of those online players are women, according to the study.

Not overly surprising, because online games are more social. However, they are counting things like online bridge and those word games as "games", which most serious gamers wouldn't consider games.

Bridge is the ONLY serious game.   

lol Louise, true, each type of game does attract its particular genre of fans.
