Young Americans are increasingly drawn to video games – so much so that this activity now occupies a bigger place in their lives than television, according to a recent survey by YPulse. The trend reflects a shift in media consumption habits among teens, who now favor the interactive, immersive experiences offered by video games.

More than nine in ten teenagers aged 13-17 play video games on a console, computer or cell phone at least once a week, compared to 86% of adults aged 18-39. On average, 13- to 17-year-olds play for more than 14 hours a week on their computers and consoles, according to research by YPulse.
