This statistic shows the answers to a survey question on whether or not game consoles such as Playstation 4 and Xbox One (but without Nintendo Switch) were used for digital gaming in Flanders, Belgium, in 2017 and 2018. Belgium is divided in three regions, namely Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels Capital Region. These regions act separately from each other, with consumer surveys sometimes focusing on a region instead of the whole country.
Approximately 20 percent of the Flemish population aged 35 to 44 years indicated in 2018 they played digital games at least once in the last month on their console. This is higher than the overall percentage, which reached 16 percent.
On which devices have you played a digital game during the past month?*
Out of the 4,547 respondents, 65% filled out the survey online through own public recruiting of imec, or through partnerships with VDAB and Mobile Viking. The other 35% was filled out offline, and the participants were approached on markets, in supermarkets, libraries, or during events (e.g. movies).
Method of interview
Computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI)
Supplementary notes
* Figures only include game consoles connected to the TV and exclude portable game consoles and hybrid game consoles.
