Report finds British families game together, Wii very popular
Another aspect of the report that is quite interesting is the perception of gaming overall. Apparently, video games are considered part of "family time" over there for those between the ages of 26 and 42. It warms our heart to think of all the families getting along splendidly, enjoying gaming together.
How many of you enjoy gaming with your family? What games do you all play together? Is gaming your main hobby?

Is that the average Brit or the average Brit that owns a gaming system? Because 70% of the population probably never games.

Well I'm from UK and I can safely say that it isn't 70%. Obviously gaming's a lot more popular over her than you think. Maybe not as much as the US but it's definitely not as spars as 70%. Maybe 30%.
