A study by research group Nielsen Entertainment says that men spend more money on video games than they do on all forms of music.
“The interactive unit of Nielsen Entertainment conducted a random survey of 1,500 people in January and February for its report. Nielsen Entertainment, a unit of VNU NV of the Netherlands, is best known for its benchmark SoundScan music sales service. Its corporate sibling Nielsen Media Research is the standard for TV ratings.
For males, Nielsen said, games now rank only behind DVDs as a purchase category, ahead of CDs, digital downloads and other ways of buying music. ”
