    Top 5 Video Game Playing Cities

    A survey was put together by Microsoft and Bert Sperling of Sperling’s BestPlaces. The survey based the rankings on everything from how many people own consoles (and how many), how many people rented video games, how many video games people owned, how many video game parties and centers there were, to how often people in the area played online.

    The Top 5 looked like this:
    1 - Seattle
    2 - Minneapolis - St Paul
    3 - Atlanta
    4 - Detroit
    5 - Pheonix

    While leader Seattle was primarily in the top spot due to the high number of hours its residents played online, Detroit made the list in part on the strength of how many people bought games and consoles.

    Seattle must have grabbed the top spot because it's gloomy there, and the Twin Cities grabbed # 2 because it's of the cold winters.

        Yeah, nobody wants to go outside here in Arizona unless you're going to the pool.

          I'll fit in Seattle well if I do move there at some point in my life.
          Blind to this impending fate
          We let the world carry our weight
          It's back breaks with every mile
          But we all live in denial

            probably doesn't hurt that Microsoft HQ is up there either.

              I'm surprised PHX is in the top 5. You would think with the lovely weather there that people would have better things to do.

              Oh well...

                Lovely weather? Have you been there? It's like 120 degrees during the day and 40 degrees at night. (exaggeration, I know) I have heard it's miserably hot though.

                I'm not surprised Atlanta is up there, though. The one year I tried the Madden Challenge (2004), it seemed to me that there were more folks there from Atlanta than from Charlotte, and the challenge was being held in Charlotte.

                  Never been there but i've always been told it's dry heat so while it's very hot it isn't thick with moisture like most places on the east coast.

                    My Company has a supplier and a "corporate office" (my Bosses 2nd home) in Arizona... from May through October... you basically have to be indoors during the peak of the day. Dry Heat.... whatever... Fire is a dry heat too. Don't get me wrong, the dry is better than humiditiy, but 120 is 120.

                      Hey, it gets 110+ in Oklahoma every summer, but we find a way to have fun outside.
