You know arcades used to be everywhere back in the early 90s and before, right?
The way kids play video games have changed, but they've been playing video games at the same level since at least the 90s. We got nickeled and dimed out of our pennies there back long ago and now kids are just moving onto paying up on smartphones and consoles. Nothing has changed.
You're not going to find a lot of research done on how many kids play video games, because its as understood as how many kids play with toys. Fucking nearly all of them, because if you weren't playing video games you were some weirdo homeschooled kid who had no friends but their weirdo mouth kissing dads and nudist moms, because even poor fucks could get a quarter for free. Sucks for kids after the mid-90s when arcades dwindled, kids sure as fuck still played video games as much as ever (99.99999% of boys, 94% of girls).
