Executive Summary

For many years, gaming has been more than just a youth pursuit; PC gaming in particular has shown a capacity to engage and entertain all age groups, even if revenues don't necessarily follow this interest. However, Gen Y consumers show by far the greatest dedication to the video gaming cause: They have multiple platforms, spend more time playing, and show more "hardcore" gamer behavior. Furthermore, Gen Y gamers are putting Social Computing tools to good use — leading to a more social, outgoing community of creative players.
