This was perhaps the most one-sided poll we’ve had to date at Digitally Downloaded.
When asked “Do you play single player games, or multiplayer?” a whopping 83 per cent of our readers either said they online play single player games, or mostly play single player games, with the occasional online session.
Six per cent of our readers only play multiplayer, and another six said they will play the solo campaign once before spending the rest of their time in the multiplayer. Finally, just three per cent said that local multiplayer is still their main way of playing.
Perhaps Mario Kart can skew those figures in the future? I know I don’t play that much single player!
Which brings us to the final poll of the year: How will you spend your holidays gaming? Have a vote, and come back next year to see where you stand!
Thanks for participating in our polls over the year. 🙂
That's pretty darn interesting! I thought most gamers played multiplayer these days. Guess DD readers are the minority? (I forgot to vote, but I would've said single player too)

I must admit, I was shocked as well, but I guess we do specialise in indie games, and the more niche genres where multiplayer either isn't as refined as Call of Duty, or just isn't necessary 🙂
I know I prefer my JRPGs with no multiplayer 😉

I definitely fall into that category. Most of my gaming is single player. I do enjoy the occasional sports title or fps online, but I spend the majority of my time on games offline personally.

I can't remember if or how I voted, but it would probably be for single-player as well. In the past I would mostly player multi-player FPS's; though just don't have enough continuous time to dedicate. Having to stop in the middle of a match to go change a diaper or what not just doesn't cut it in MP. 😀
If I can work out the time I'm sure Mario Kart 7 will give me more MP time. Should be interesting as much of my gaming with Mario Kart Wii was single player.
