The data is based on its surveys of 10,000 US broadband households.
Other notable stats from the Parks Associates data include:
- 38% U.S. broadband households have a gaming console.
- 36% of U.S. broadband households subscribe to or are trialing a video gaming service.

“Streaming video consumption and the devices that enable it are fixtures of modern life,” said Paul Erickson, director of research, Parks Associates. “Consumers are increasingly willing to spend for better entertainment experiences at home, and they now see greater tangible value in the content, services, and devices that maximize the quality of their home audio and visual experiences.”
