Swiss like to game

 A new study proves it: The Swiss are avid gamers. As the Goldbach Media company Game Mediarep announced on Wednesday, one in five people in Switzerland devote themselves to electronic games. A special survey of 1061 people commissioned by Mediarep revealed that games are particularly popular among 15-24-year-old men. The proportion there is 58 percent. However, almost one in three people in the 25-40 age group are also represented in the gaming community. "The figures show that Switzerland still has potential compared to the USA or Germany. Nevertheless, the figures are already highly encouraging," said Camille Zimmermann, Business Development Manager at Game Mediarep, who deals with the placement of advertising in electronic games. The study is to be repeated next year.
