EU Online Multiplayer Gaming Grows
Posted: 19th Feb, 2003 By: MarkJ
The latest Nielsen/NetRatings study has found that the number of European Internet users playing online multiplayer games has doubled since last year:
Online games have the most dedicated audiences in France and Germany, followed by the Netherlands. But the UK, which is Europe's second largest online market, has only 1.1 million people gaming online.
According to Nielsen/NetRatings the lower take-up in the UK could be linked to the fact that there are less web users using broadband internet connections than in the rest of Europe.
But the popularity of online gaming will be strengthened by the sales of current gaming consoles, which include broadband connectivity and services such as X-Box Live.
The Web-User item notes that almost 6 million European surfers visited a games site during January 2003, which compares with 2.8 million last year.
