Think you're a big gamer? According to a new study from market research firm NPD Group, to be considered among the real hardcore you'll need to play an average of 48.5 hours a week -- nearly seven hours a day.

whoa..
how many hours a day or a week do you guys play and do any of you consider yourselves "extreme gamers" according to the article's definition of it?
i say on avarage game about 3hrs. a day, more or less.
Smasandian
On average, 2hrs or so.
Weekends is aroudn 6 hours I guess.
It all depends on what else is there to do. During the month of June, I'll probably play a quarter of that due to the World Cup.

I think it depends on the game. I devoted hours and hours to games like MW2, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and GTA IV. However, games like WoW, Assassins Creed, Metal Gear Solid I just play them and never really got into them. I also think it depends on your lifestyle...are you a student or a full time employee? Maybe you're a 13 year old with too much time or a married/family person with other responsibilities....different cases.

I play about 2 to 3 hours every few days(when I can). My consoles have set timers so they auto turn off after 3hrs anyway. I live wit alot of people who will play the shit outta my games 24/7 if I don't do anything.

I'm only an extreme gamer when it's a boring week.

I play less than I used to. It's mainly because of work.

Bladewind

I get through approximately two and a half hours of play time for every ten hours that I am awake and not eating.

played "tekken 6" with a friend yesterday from about 4pm to 7:30pm, drove him home, came back, showered up, and got into "blur" from about 8:30pm till about 2am. so damn that about 7 hrs give or take right there..
holy sh*t, lol.
i'd like to think that i don't game that much but i do. well i guess i dont game that often. like i haven't gamed today. and i don't think i will even even though i called my friend earlier to set up a tekken 6 session at our other friends house, then i'd go get him and we'd go. but i decided to hang out with my girl plus the games on tonight (nba finals) and i haven't seen her in a couple of days.
the day before that 3 of us were on tekken from 5pm to 11pm
