"On November 17, Ampere Analysis published the results of a large-scale video game survey focusing on single-player vs. multiplayer games. The research and marketing firm asked 34,428 people who have played a video game in the last year if they agreed with this statement: "I prefer single-player games over multiplayer games." And the newly released data shows that gamers in most countries do."
"In the United States, Ampere's data revealed that 65 percent of gamers prefer single-player, making it the country with the highest number of solo-leaning players. Right behind the United States is Japan at 63 percent, Thailand at 62 percent, and Germany at 60 percent. Meanwhile, a slightly lower number of United Kingdom gamers, 58 percent, prefer single-player over online gaming."
Data from 34,428 gamers across more than 20 markets indicate most players prefer single-player over multiplayer. In the United States 65% prefer single-player, Japan 63%, Thailand 62%, Germany 60%, and the United Kingdom 58%. China and Sweden diverge, with 47% and 49% preferring single-player respectively, implying a multiplayer majority there.
