Ah it was the Nielson Group

I'll see if i can find the longer article too.

But yeah.  Wii usually fell into the more afluent group then... and i've yet to see anything to contradict it.

Perhaps, except that could also imply that the PS3 and 360 are bought more by single person households (such as college students) whereas many Wii owners are teenagers or children, hence why the household income is 100k or more (mother and father both working should easily pull in over 100k a year). Of course, the divorce rate is so high in this country, that that could also be another variable. I imagine couples would also buy a Wii to play together.

Also, if your console has a huge sales disparity with the others, it's likely to be the console that shares the living room space. I'm sure there were a good bit more people who exclusively owned a PS2 than exclusively owned a Gamecube. It's simple. When the other consoles have 7-8 million lead, there's bound to be some overlap.
