Really? That's actually far lower than I expected, I was thinking the vast majority of kids were growing up exclusively on touch/gyro only games.

I think 7 hours is a lot to spend only on gaming... the kids probably use tablet and smartphones more hours with 7 on gaming..
My parents would have kicked me out of the house to play outside if I played that many hours of videogames when I was that age..

Really I meant in relation, the fact they're playing traditional physical control games more than they are touch and gyro only games. I just kind of assumed they weren't playing tradition physical control games anymore.

7 hours a week of touch games though, yeah... What the hell are they even playing that has that kind of lasting appeal on iOS/Android? I can only think of Minecraft, and that certainly can't account for all of them.
