Never been a programmer have ya?
The video game industry is a mult-billion dollar industry, out preforming both music, and movies, so yeah everybody games.
months playing a game for 22 hours a day, sleeping for 3 a day? Not possible, don't care who you are.
Heh, I've done it for weeks, not months though (programming not game play). However, that was a typo on my part. The figure given was 22 hrs a week, that why later in the post I said half the average work week.
No, they don't and no, it doesn't outperform music and movies. It true, a lot of people play video games, no need to exaggerate.
Grand Theft Auto IV, a video game, recorded sales of $310 million… on its first day.
It's not the first time video games have made a one-day killing like that. Game sales have outpaced movies for some time now. For the first time last year, the video game industry surpassed the movie industry in gross sales.

So is the Italian sports car industry.
Does that mean everyone drives a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lamborghini too?
Consumers spent $24.75 billion on video games, hardware and accessories in 2011.
Purchases of digital content accounted for 31 percent of game sales in 2011, generating $7.3 billion in revenue.
The average U.S. household owns at least one dedicated game console, PC or smartphone.
The average game player is 30 years old and has been playing games for 12 years.
The average age of the most frequent game purchaser is 35 years old.
Forty-seven percent of all game players are women. In fact, women over the age of 18 represent a significantly greater portion of the game-playing population (30 percent) than boys age 17 or younger (18 percent).
Sixty-two percent of gamers play games with others, either in-person or online.
Thirty-three percent of gamers play games on their smartphones, and 25 percent play games on their handheld device.
Seventy-three percent of all games sold in 2011 were rated "E" for Everyone, "T" for Teen, or "E10+" for Everyone 10+. For more information on game ratings, please see Entertainment Software Rating Board .
Parents are present when games are purchased or rented 90 percent of the time.

Also here's a PDF with some more facts that prove you wrong.

You haven't posted a single fact that proves me wrong.
I do not play video games.
I've posted numerous facts that you are wrong, and just because you don't play games, doesn't mean that everyone doesn't play games.
Really, Jetbogieman?
Where's the problem?
Actually, it most certainly means that very thing.
If I don't play video games than everyone cannot be playing video games. How many billions the industry made last year will never change that. It's mind boggling that you even think you're making a logical argument too.
I meant everyone else, it's not hard to see that was the point I was making, and your wrong, I've posted facts, you've posted nothing, it's that simple.
You have done absolutely nothing to prove everyone in the universe except me plays video games.
Repeatedly insisting you have does not change that.
And I've never claimed that, so yeah that's your problem with reading comprehension.
Everyone plays video games these days

(In response to my stating I don't play video games)
Yes, clearly I have a reading comprehension problem.
:roll:
You clearly do. You have no idea what the word "else" means.
I love you teenage communists.
I love you teenage communists.
Your brand of idiocy always makes me feel better about myself.
We just need to make it illegal for you to vote :/
I'm not a teenager, and I'm not a communist :lol:
It's a safe bet that if you're not a teenager then you're not too far removed from it.
I'm 22, and you still haven't addressed my facts, that the majority of people in the US play games. (Hint: that was my claim that you failed to understand.)

You haven't posted any single fact stating the majority of the U.S. play video games but your claim was everyone which then turned into everyone but me.
I don't doubt that video games are very popular in your age group. They're just not popular in mine and I suspect you would have a very difficult time finding a significant number of people above a certain age who play at all. Your grandparents are in the minority if they spend their twilight years doing so.
22 is about how you sound though. That says it all.
