Or they could just look at their site analytics and get the actual use numbers instead of a self-selecting sample. I'd be surprised if VGC didn't log browser/OS type.

Indeed, last month for gamrConnect

Smartphones:

1.	iPhone	18,764
2.	Android	15,404
3.	iPod	10,663
4.	iPad	6,049
5.	BlackBerry	844

And for comparison to general users:

1.	Firefox	222,834
2.	Chrome	144,691
3.	Internet Explorer	101,769
4.	Safari	74,585
5.	Opera	17,158
6.	Playstation 3	9,158
7.	Opera Mini	3,737
8.	Mozilla Compatible Agent	2,051
9.	IE with Chrome Frame	467
10.	RockMelt	437

Hooray, infoporn!

So mobile represents a little over 8% of VGC traffic, even though the site is really pretty terrible on a mobile browser. That may not sound like much, but it's proportionately high when compared to these numbers suggesting mobile represents less than 5% of worldwide traffic:

Here's hoping that GamrConnect 2.0 gives mobile traffic on this site a big shot in the arm.
