As I had said in the Joystiq post, and all of Weblogs, Inc keeps making an "Oopsie!" with.

"Someone read the charts wrong..

"During that same period, those involved in the study played Xbox 360 10.2 percent and PS3 10.6 percent -- nearly double the Wii average."

If you look at http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stateofvgamer_040609_fnl1.pdf, the 10.2 percent is for the original Xbox. The 360 is actually higher than the PS3 at 11.4%"

The PS3 is NOT top dog in the report."

the 360 beat the PS3 in everything but average daily number of sessions.]]>Apr 8th 2009 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/

On an odd take, the users of the PS3 has an average age group of 25-34, while the 360 has an average age group of 12-17. Hmm.... I wonder how voice chatting in games is there...]]>Apr 8th 2009 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/
Add up all of Ps sale and Xbox sales and tell me the difference. Talking about ps and xbox. All generations. ]]>Apr 8th 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/
Just consoles!? Are you serious man? Cmon! You're talking about the lives of millions of ppl! Can you imagine the catastrophe if all these consoles were taken away?! People would cease to have pointless entertainment. They would actually have to go outside and play! And spend time with the family...and have a job....and all that. :P



This post is in no way meant to offend or degrade anyone. It is just sarcasm so calm down there dude. I'm not trying to feed the trolls...but I am just poking a little fun at the world today. ;) I realize that there are only a few gamers who don't have jobs or quality time with their families and so on. I enjoy gaming from time to time...but it saddens me to see the money and time wasted on "pointless" entertainment. It has it's time and place yes....but alot of ppl/kids use it excessively....

Anyways...sorry for the rant. :P]]>Apr 8th 2009 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 10:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/

Nothing wrong with the console though. It's just that in the long run the Wii is not worth investing in as there are were few games that enlighten or challenge a gamer the same way Halo, Metal Gear Solid or Command and Conquer does. ]]>Apr 8th 2009 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 9:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 9th 2009 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/Apr 8th 2009 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/08/neilsen-report-ranks-gaming-usage-for-wii-ps3-and-xbox-360-con/
