Two thirds of British men would rather play with themselves

1 in 3 British men would prefer to play video games than be with their partner, with 72% claiming they’d shun their missus for the night to play a new release. From a study of 1130 British men, of those in relationships, 32% that said they would prefer to play video games gave reasons ranging from their “partner being hard to please” to the prospect being “not as much fun” as gaming.  Further cementing the sad truth about video game addiction in the British male, 41% said if they were given $50, they’d spend it on a video game.  The research was carried out by PlayStation3 site.

I saw this on a friend's Blog and had to share it. Now I have to find some research claiming that 92% of American men would rather play with themselves. Why do my countrymen always let me down?
