NEW YORK: More American millennials now subscribe to a videogame service than to a traditional paid television service, according to a survey on June 10, as consumers favour new forms of entertainment that are shifting the broader media landscape.

About 53% of people born between 1983 and 1996 now pay for gaming services, versus 51% who pay for television, according to a survey from the accounting and professional services firm Deloitte.
