KeyWord: Canada, poll, Microsoft, nude Date: 07-04-2008
Summary: For reasons that we at Digital Home Canada still can't fathom, Microsoft has commissioned a poll that asked respondents if they have every played a computer game: in public; at work; in the bathroom; in the bedroom, or in the nude.

The website of Digital Home has released an article about a poll commissioned by Microsoft.

The details are as below:

For reasons that we at Digital Home Canada still can't fathom, Microsoft has commissioned a poll that asked respondents if they have every played a computer game: in public; at work; in the bathroom; in the bedroom, or in the nude.

The results of the Ipsos Reid poll seem to suggest that there are few limits as to how online Canadians like to enjoy their computer games.

The poll of just over a thousand online adult Canadians has found they are playing games in a wide-range of places. These include playing computer games while at work (30%), in the bedroom (27%), in public (19%), and even in the bathroom (7%). Half of Canadians (50%), however, have not played in any of these locations.

For those who absolutely must know, the study also found that one in five Canadian men (17%) has played a computer game in the nude while a significantly smaller percentage of women (9%) have done the same.

It appears that younger adults have a greater propensity for nude gaming. An alarming one in four Canadians aged 18 to 34 (23%) have played a computer game in the nude, while those aged 35 to 54 (12%) or over 54 (5%) are less likely to have done so.

In addition to determining the percentage of Canadians who have played games in their birthday suits, the study has some less sensational but perhaps more interesting findings:

  1. Nine in ten online Canadians (86%) have played minesweeper or solitaire on their computer, making them among the most widely played games available. Half (53%) have bought a video game at some point in their lives, men (59%) more than women (49%). Other activities include playing an online game like Diner Dash (28%), playing a game on Facebook like Scrabulous (25%), and playing a "massively multi-player game" like World of Warcraft (12%). Only one in ten online Canadians (9%) have not done any of these activities.
