Americans watch an estimated 6.1 hours of video right now, and roughly 64 percent of that time is spent watching television (defined as broadcast TV, recorded programming and video-on-demand). But by 2013, Americans will spend more time watching web-based videos, playing video games and watching DVDs than they do watching traditional TV, according to market research firm Solutions Research Group (pdf).
"While daily time with TV will remain close to 4 hours, traditional TV’s share of the total video entertainment
pie is projected to shrink from 63.9 percent today to 47.1 percent by 2013, given the overall increase consumers’ in total video-based entertainment consumption," said the report.
