New research released by the Entertainment Software Association says that one-third of Americans aged 13 and up play games on mobile devices, tablets, or portable game consoles.
Entertainment Software Association最近研究显示，三分之一13+的美国人哉手机，平板或者掌机上玩游戏。
It also reveals that 22 percent of mobile gamers never played games before -- or were totally lapsed players at the time they picked up mobile gaming. Another 46 percent of mobile players played games occasionally, but weren't regular players.
研究还显示，22%的移动游戏玩家以前不玩游戏，现在却黏度很高。另有46%的移动玩家偶尔玩玩，黏度低。
We've all heard how mobile gaming has sucked in players who weren't fans of the medium before it got accessible; there's your proof.
我们都知道，移动游戏玩家数量增长速度很多，有很多人在移动设备普及之前，是不玩游戏的。以上的数据就是证明。
The time spent playing mobile games largely hasn't reduced the amount of time players spend on other devices, such as consoles or PCs: 54 percent say that time has remained steady and 11 percent are reporting they spend even more time playing on other devices. Interestingly, 42 percent of respondents said they'd purchased a game for console, PC, or handheld because they enjoyed the mobile version.
尽管玩家花在移动游戏上的时间很多，但并没有减少他们在console或者PC上玩游戏的时间：54%的受访者表示他们玩这些游戏的时间还和以前一张，有11%表示甚至比以前投入的时间更长了。有趣的是，42%受访者表示他们在玩过移动版本后，觉得有趣就购买了该游戏其它设备上的版本。
The research was conducted by market research firm The NPD Group under direction of the ESA from a representative sample of 3,264 people.
