Scarborough Research, a firm that measures lifestyle and shopping patterns, media behaviors and demographics of American consumers, has measured the local US markets for homes that own a video game system. Salt Lake City, UT, comes in at number one, with Lexington, KY, Flint, MI, and Toledo, OH, follow close behind with 30 percent of households in these cities owning a video game system. Nationally, an average of 24 percent of households own a video game system. The study also shows that Wal-Mart is still the most popular store among video-game owners, with Best Buy close behind.
I’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate my Lexington brethren (several of whom I LAN with on a regular basis) on their second-place finish, and to encourage them to WORK HARDER for next year!

Too bad there aren’t many stores in Salt Lake that focus on older games like SNES and NES.
