Gaming Consumer Quotes

We surveyed our audience of video game console players to understand why they enjoy playing video games on a console. 

“My number one reason is to pass the time or during time when I’m free and feeling bored. I sometimes play video games when I’m feeling tired with work load or having other issues such as family issues.”

“They can be cross-platform, meaning I can play games I used to play on older platforms all on the PC. As well as there is just much more of a wide variety of options for games in general.”

“The screen of the PC is big compared to my phone’s screen. It’s also convenient for me because I use my PC a lot for work so I play games when I need to take a break or loosen up a bit. My PC is portable so I can play my games whenever, wherever.”

“Playing video games on a pc is more comfortable because the graphics are better than on a phone.”
