Nominated for dumbest comment of the day. Why would people lie about this on a survey? We've already established that the Wii has a vast casual adult market. Why would 40 year old moms lie about gaming? If anything, you'd think they would be embarrassed to admit how MUCH they use it, not the other way around. No, grow up, people aren't LYING to neilsen. Also, lots of Nielsens data now comes from little set top boxes they give to customers such that customers can't lie, or forget, or whatever. Either way, who even cares?

If you look at it over the entire year, the original Xbox was played more than the PS3 making the PS3 actually 6th, and the Xbox 360 was actually 2nd and Wii 4th... Right?

What is most refreshing is how it would appear that many people are saying "Screw you, next gen!" and still playing their PS2s. So now I don't feel bad when the most important activity of my PS3 most months is replaying
I still want to know how they put these demographics together. Like I said, something is very odd about the patterns.

More like, "Fuck me, the economy is screwed. I'll stick to the games I already have."

For now i imagine they use the charmed ones to make a spell on a map and spread magnetic magical dust that lights up the houses of the people needing to be measured.

But even so, I'm really glad Kotaku posted the correction, there is obviously still some professionalism present on gaming blogs (Crecente and a few others).

Also, i remember the list with the numbers on it, i thought the PS3 was above the wii in time spent playing in most of the categories. what is this one based on exactly?

You are indeed looking at it wrong, but only a little bit. The 360 got knocked out of the #2 spot for the last two months, but in December it was lost to "Other". Yeah, that probably means the 360 was still the #2 most-used system, but "Other" could, in theory, consist entirely of people playing another extremely popular system that's not listed. The DS and PC are the only two I can think of that might qualify for that, depending on whether the poll was intended to include them...and whether the pollee's cared what was intended or not.

I don't really think anyone likes to advertise that they USED to be the #2 most played system...

Haven't played the Wii that much since firing up Wii Sports,Wii Play when it arrived. Only turned it on to play Guitar Hero. A game which I suck in...
I appreciate what the Wii does but I honestly don't see myself "surviving" game-wise if it was my only system.
Oh and did that graph just confirm that teh Wii is foo teh kiddiez??! Sure looks like it!
No flaming please! Just adding coals to the fire. I kid! =D

That top PC games played on the other hand really shows what I suspected all along: a lot of workers spend their time playing games instead of working :)
