GameTrack method

GameTrack fieldwork runs throughout the quarter. Once a year, a sample of 1,000 adults aged 18+ per country is interviewed via an offline survey (including questions relating to the games played by children aged 6-17 years old), to provide data that is used to weight responses from a much more detailed online survey. The online survey is conducted amongst a sample of at least 3,000 internet users aged 6-64 years per country. 6-64 year olds represent the vast majority of all video games players. The online survey runs monthly throughout the quarter.
