British men spend more than three times as long playing video games consoles than their children, new research shows.

According to a survey conducted by VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, British men find the time to spend, on average, 17 hours per week on their video game consoles.
Their kids, on the other hand, only spend six hours per week in front of their consoles.
Reflecting on the results of the survey, George Charles, spokesman for VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, said: "Whilst games consoles are a hit with today's youth, there are so many games aimed at adults that still entice parents - especially when the kids are in bed and they get a bit of peace and quiet.
"Many games themselves start at around £50 in shops these days, with prices increasing online if you want to download special editions, so it's no surprise that if the average home has three consoles that the costs run into thousands."
The research also found that the most popular games among British men included 'Destiny 2' (27 percent) and 'Battlefield' (22 percent), while the top games for British women are 'World of Warcraft' (25 percent) and 'The SIMs' (18 percent).
Meanwhile, for children, it was found that the most popular game on the market is currently 'Minecraft' (34 percent) followed by 'Grand Theft Auto V' (29 percent).
