Searching for surprises in Pew research about video game use

Can’t say much of the Pew Internet Project survey results on adult usage of video games was too surprising (more than of U.S. adults play video games), but did learn at least a few things:

* Men are only slightly more likely to play than women (55% to 50%)

* Just 3% of teens don’t play

*  Those with college education play more than those with just high school education

* Old timers who play video games play more frequently than other adults (which makes sense since you figure they might have more time to play).

* Adults tend to play more on computers than on consoles, whereas teens prefer consoles

* Just 2% of gamers say they have visited a virtual world. No surprise to me it was low, but was surprised it was this low.
