July 30, 2012

A recent research report by Parks Associates on “Trends in Digital Gaming” shows that smartphone and tablet adoption has grown along with the percentage of U.S. gamers who regularly download games or gaming apps to their mobile devices. Game downloaders grew to 18 percent in 2011 from 7 percent in 2008, the firm found. Among tablet owners, 71 percent of adults and 79 percent of teens play games on the device at least one hour per month.
