Sales of games (including videogames, computer games, and edutainment) in the United States during 2000 totaled $6.02 billion, slightly down from the $6.1 billion in 1999.
43% of game players are women, and the average age of these women is 29 years.
In 2000, more than 219 million computer games and videogames were sold -- almost two for every household in America.
