How much time do you spend on playing videogames?

Jul 28, 2007 23:52
I' m just a little curious. Try to figure out an average of hours/week. Some of you have played so many games and are buying so many new that you must be wasting a lot of time on videogames. I' d be great if you could divide your time between the different consoles, especially handheld and home consoles, so it' s possible to see what' s getting all the attention. I like videogames a lot and I make sure to follow most of what' s going on in the industry, but I don' t waste extreme amounts of time on playing the games. Every week I guess I spend roughly this much time on gaming 360: 9H/week (about an hour a day, a little more on weekends) PSP: 7H/week (mostly during travels on the train every day) PS2: 2H/week (when I have some time over) GCN: 2H/week (when I have some time over) Total 18H/week (an average of about 2H30M/day)

XBox 360: 15h a week (When I got something real good to play its even more, when I dont have something to play it' s much less) Playstation 2: 3h a week (Not for long, though. I' ll bury it as soon as I beat Zone of the Enders 2, Okami and Disgaea 2) Nintendo Wii: 1h a week (mostl when I am visiting my little sister because she absolutely loves Wii Sports. But I suppose I' ll be using my Wii much more soon, too) Nintendo DS: 3h a week (Same as with Ginjirou, mostly on travels. But I travel less than he does) PC: 4h a week (Pro Evolution Soccer 6) About 25h a week(A bit much, but well the time is constantly changing. When I' ve got no new games it usually goes down to as low as 5, 6 h a week. And in Fall/Winter it goes up to sometimes 40, 50 h a week)

I typicaly play games when I have something to play or when I want to replay some of my favorites. So some times a week has passed and I havent played anything, Recently I am talking more about games than playing them. If i had to break it down.. PS3: 1 hour a day [mostly superstar dust, maybe, nothing much to play as i still only have ristance and motorstorm...] ps2: 1 hour every 3-4 days Dreamcast: 1 Hour some weekends N64/Ps1: Never Pc: Not recently but I still have to finsh Miedievil total 2 and Oblivion. And yet to get command and conquer 3 [i did have it for a while on Vista but it didnt run right, but the demo runs fine on xp] but maybe 1-2 hours a week. mostly Bf2. Expect those numbers to increase tenfold when I get some bloody games.

you should all figure out that this month for me was the busiest ever since many years ago. after buying the 360 like one month ago and i after i added the DS, man i think i play a little bit too much... i started my internship this week so the game time has dropes drasticaly but for the whole month that had passed i played xbox360: 4h a day (90% single player games, for one month and half) Ds: for this whole week around (4h a day), 360 (droped to 2 ) PSP: nothing for his month That is 28h a week , and recently up to 36h/week because of the Ds. Games i beat This one month and half : Graw 2 Lost Planet Vegas Gears of Wars Kameo Splinter Cell double Agent Call of duty 3 Castlevania aria of sorrow (ds) Playing: Forza 2 The Darkness Advance Wars New Mario World + Extras like Viva pinata and mario touch You guys can' t blame me of playing much when i have this much of quality games.

360 = About 45 minutes to an hour on weekdays, an hour and a half or so on Saturday and Sunday. PS2 = About 2 hours a week. Mainly Jak & Daxter & Ratchet & Clank. PSP = About 10 minutes a day. My drive is busto, so I spend most of my time watching videos, listening to music. PC = My PC is always on, I don' t spend too much at one time, maybe an hour or so, but I jaunt back & forth between modding projects & online resources all day. DS = Erm... 15 minutes a week, although that' s not exactly a fair estimate as all I own is Starfox Command. GameCube = The only console I regretted selling. Dreamcast = I look at it every so often, just to say " Cockaroaches!" like Tony Montana.

I mainly just play on Live weekly with my friends. Usually something like every Tuesday or Wednesday night, for about 4-5 hours. Then maybe a couple of hours on the weekend. These days I definitely talk and read about games more than play them. But there' s some good titles coming soon, so we' ll see what happens.

I don' t play nearly enough games. Perhaps 2/3 hours every 2nd week. For me, I tend to play long and hard, when a new game I like is released, then afterwards I go back to society and is game free for 1/2/3/4/more months. On a side note, I haven' t watched TV for 4 years now. With the exeption of occantional rewatches of old DVD films, with friends.

I don' t have a set time period but i can break it down to percentage of time i make available for gaming. PC - 66% Wii - 33% Unfortunately there is no game on any platform at the moment i am interested in so i probably won' t be playing games for a while (Until the Nintendo big 3 that is)

I typically spend about 30 hours a week playing evenly between my PC and 360. Lately I' ve spent less than an hour a week gaming. Mainly for two reasons. One, it' s summer and I have too many parties to attend to. Secondly, Ive had these connection issues which kill the fun from playing online. However I believe I fixed my problem with my connection after I bought a new Ethernet cable. In the Fall with the kickass games coming out I' ll be spending a lot more time gaming.

Lets see gaming on avg starts at about 8 or 9 PM and goes on til 2 AM and its usually on Xbox Live. Thats Monday-Friday. I see my girlfriend every Saturday but shes on Xbox Live as well so she rushes home at around 10pm. Sunday is all day gaming pretty much. So about 30hours minimum a week. Then you add in the off days when there ain' t shit to do then it brings the number way up. PC gaming gets its time. And I rarely delve into the past. The Wii only gets love when I go out to a friends place where there out plenty of people.
