Perhaps the most surprising result of the survey was that video gaming is not an isolated pursuit. About 75 percent of respondents said that they play games with friends at least some of the time, and 65 percent reported played with others in the same room.

The Pew Institute performed the survey with support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
