Online games outrank everything in popularity – Reveals a new teen survey

A recent survey conducted mostly among a group of teen males has revealed some interesting findings about the internet surfing behavior of male teenagers across the world. The survey was conducted among a large number of males across various social community sites such as facebook and some popular online forums.

More than 45% of male teenagers claimed to spend more than 60% of their browsing time in playing online games. The most popular games played by them include online flash games, multiplayer games and even social networking site games such as Farmville, Mafia wars and others. Another 25% of the teenagers said they were active in some sort of online games and maintained a character there.

Women most dedicated players of online games

Online games are not exclusively a male-dominated domain, for a new study has revealed that the most hard-core players are actually females.

Challenging the age-old stereotype, the study investigating gender differences among gamers, found that despite gaming being seen as a male activity, female players now make up about 40 per cent of the gaming population.

Also, the study also found that gamers are healthier than average, and that game playing is an increasingly social activity.
