Nielsen: Windows Phone users download games more often than iOS and Android

There's no denying Microsoft's commitment to Xbox Live on Windows Phone. The company's own Marc Whitten even admitted that Windows Phone really is their portable gaming strategy. With over 4000 games in the Marketplace (which makes it the most popular category), it's no surprise that research group Nielsen has confirmed our suspicions: Windows Phone users love to play games. According to the above graphic, users actually download games more often on Windows Phone than iOS and Android. About 70% of the users quizzed download the game, but it's only barely edging out iOS at 69% and Android at 66%. This is of course affected by the number of devices on each platform, which Apple and Google have demolished Microsoft on so far but it is still an impressive number despite the supposedly small install base.
