PS3 is used for gaming?

Its a Pandora's box people! 



It only does everything else than playing games ^^



Coincidentally, my own use with each of the three platforms matches up pretty closely with the results of this survey.

I definitely spend more time watching media, both DD and disc based than playing games on the PS3, mainly because I spend more time watching media (often in the background) than actively playing games.

Barring a handful of DD based videos from XBL (episodes of The Guild and 360 game related video clips like the Alan Wake promos), the 360 is a game console first by a huge margin. I don't care for the way media play is set up on the Xbox so it's only for XBL exclusive content.

Since I don't have any strange compulsion to use the Wii for anything but games, it is used 100% of the time as a game console.

What those facts don't tell is that more games for the PS3 were bought than the 360 and Wii combined by a factor of almost two.

Barring any titles I forgot about (and and DD games), for 2010, it was PS3: 15  Xbox: 4  Wii: 4.

None of the games on the Wii bought this year were played for more than a few hours. Three of the games for the Xbox were finished completely. Same for the PS3 with a bunch that were basically just sampled to be played later. 



Oh btw,

Times spent online < Time spent offline

Times spent online < Time watching DVD

Online gaming is not that important in gaming, I like that.

I actually can't remember the last game I played on my PS3, Batman AA maybe?

It's really my DVD/BluRay player at the moment and not much else, and before people start yelling fanboy, my 360 gets much more Netflix use than game use (I just happen to game on it too occasionally).  :-p

No god of war III.

It is in your sig.

Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
