The resulting bubbles.　　 'Mobile Games' is the abbreviation of mobile games, divided into stand-alone games (without internet connection) and online games. The popularity of mobile games is not accidental, it is spread by relying on the rapid popularity of smart phones.

The relevant market business opportunities brought by such a large consumer group really make manufacturers coveted, and what kind of attitude do our consumers have about the popularity of mobile games? This is of reference significance for manufacturers who intend to enter this market. To this end, the reporter interviewed 100 people through random field interviews, telephone interviews and online questionnaires, including 23 children and their parents, 17 middle school students, 24 college students, 28 office workers, and others (middle-aged and elderly people and no Housewives of children, etc.) 8 people, and draw the following data charts: 　　According to the analysis of the survey data, we can draw the following conclusions: 　　One, who plays?　　The young people become the main force. 　　93% of the respondents said they would play mobile games. However, primary and secondary school students have not been exposed to mobile games for a long time due to learning and parental restrictions, and some children show a kind of 'crazy' pursuit of mobile games. Many parents say that their children will be able to play mobile games as soon as they play mobile games. Very focused, 'more attentive than doing homework.' While parents are busy with their children, they rarely play mobile games, but they will not resist. Most middle-aged and elderly people do not have this entertainment habit, but a few will follow the trend and play with the young people in the unit.　　 2. Why do you play?　　 It’s easy to pass the time to fill up the odds and ends. 　　 When asked why they play mobile games, 42% of players blurted out 'boring.' Mobile games can pass the short time of their leisure time. Some interviewees bluntly said that mobile games themselves are boring. However, some parents said that they would not completely restrict their children from playing mobile games, and games are helpful to the development of their children's intelligence.　　 Three, where to play?　　The advantages of WeChat download platform are highlighted. 　　From the survey data, the mobile game download platform is mainly Tencent QQ WeChat, accounting for 45%, which is a relatively large proportion.

The report shows that Tencent quickly became the second largest iOS platform publisher in downloads due to the strong communication of WeChat. In the month after the Chinese market was mentioned in the September Mobile Game Index report, Tencent's horizontal parkour game 'Daily Cool Run' successfully won the October iOS platform mobile game download champion position.　　 Four.
