YouGov SixthSense research for this report illustrates how it is impossible to think about the gaming community as a single market. Major differences exist by gender, age and socio-economic status as to how and when games are played, the expenditure lavished on them and the attitudes of gamers towards particular games.

Nevertheless, research for this report does indicate a number of key groups that are currently highly attractive for those operating in the gaming market, as well as a number of emerging groups who offer the potential to become significant consumers in their own right.

This report examines the dynamics behind recent and future development in each of the three sectors that make up the hardware market, with a review of trends in value and volume sales where possible. It looks in detail at both the general and specific drivers behind gaming in the UK, both now and in the future.
