doing a report on computer/console video game & movie industry...

[MrHappyMonkey]

I'm doing a report on the computer/console video game & movie industry for my business class and am looking for the demographic information for teen (12-19) spending in this industry. I've searched google for a bit, but can't seem to find anything entirely relevent (it also dosn't help that the firewall at school blocks just about every "gaming" related site). Does anybody know of such a site(s) that has this type of industry information?

try some software developers websites... you never know what kinda goldmines you can find... most corporations also have contact info so you can call and ask statistical information... if you get a good person on the phone they will give you all kinds of info...

my suggestion, scour the sites of the developers, manufacturers, NOT the gaming sites...

for example, just jumped onto ea's site, and found this link towards investor relations divisions... tell them you are a student looking for info, bet you theyll be happy to help you out... Link

Email the guys at penny-arcade.com they just did a survey and one of their questions was the survey-takers age and another was their spending on games in a month. Check it out,
