We might want to rethink the stereotype of the teenage boy as the supreme gamer.  A recent survey by MocoSpace looked at gaming habits on PC, console, and mobile, and concluded that women over 30 rein supreme in average hours per day on the mobile platform.
Overall, 21 percent of the survey's 15,000 respondents spent an hour or more playing mobile games each day. But the report's most surprising finding may be that 27 of percent of women over 30 spend three hours or more per day playing mobile games - double the rate for both men and females ages 12 to 29.
Some other interesting data points are that mobile seems to be overtaking console play.
Only 26 percent are playing more on their consoles, and 23 percent said they are gaming more on their PCs. In terms of intensive play, consoles win out - slightly. The MocoSpace found 21 percent play mobile games an hour a day, against 24 percent for console gaming. Either way, they're sitting down to play mostly at home - despite the mobile nature of the media. “The fact that people are gaming on their mobile phones at home, often sitting a few feet away from their controller, shows that mobile is capable of grabbing and holding their interest. This data makes it clear that mobile is a viable alternative to console and PC gaming,” said Justin Siegel, CEO of MocoSpace.
