65% of Australians play video games
98% of Australian homes with children have computer games (that’s near full penetration)
24% of gamers play social network games (that's a very interesting stat)
19% of Aussie gamers are over the age of 51
37% of Aussie gamers play on public transport, while 45% play during breaks or lunch (outdoor advertisers take note – here’s another distraction from your billboards)
41% of gamers are in-app purchasing, with an average monthly spend of $5
And here is an interesting one – about 25% of gamers have spent money on gaming merchandise such as clothing, toys, posters, etc.
There is a plethora of statistical goodness in the report, and plenty of other surprises as well. And they also included a nice little infographic for us to enjoy.
