An overwhelming number of American children between the ages of 2 and 17 are playing video games, a new study released today by the NPD Group has found.

While industry figures find that the average age of a person who plays video games is 37, new data from The NPD Group suggest that there's little to worry about when it comes to a constant influx of new gamers. That's because 91% of U.S. kids ages 2-17 play video games, up 9% from two years ago. The percentage of youngsters who take up gaming (12.68%) is actually growing faster than the growth rate (1.54%), the tracking firm finds. And kids represent a huge chunk of the spending on physical game software -- 44% in 2011.
