53% is barely "most"

This is a really bizarre point to try to make, to me. The headline doesn't say "the vast, overwhelming percentage of gamers"... It says most. 53% is most.

The bigger problem I had was with the categories, really.

    "Most" in more than a simple majority in my understanding of English as a non-native speaker. "More" would be a better word for it. I'd also take "single player is the most popular" of two game modes which is true but still implies more than 6% difference.

    Are you Spanish or Arabic speaking by any chance?

    That 3% could be a rounding error, "most" implies a much bigger difference, the title should say that half gamers prefer singleplayer games.
