Los Angeles - Ratings firm Nielsen Entertainment announced on Wednesday that it is reevaluating a custom research study on "active video gamers" its Nielsen Interactive division released last month, adding that its market-size data and definition of "active gamer" are under review.

The company "recalled" a press release from Oct. 5 announcing the report, which Nielsen said "revealed conflicting information that had not been resolved before the report was released to the market."

The Oct. 5 release stated that there are 117 million active gamers in the U.S., defined as those who play upwards of five hours per week.
