Nielsen: Wii households more likely to be upscale

For the month of June, Nielsen says the PlayStation 2 accounted for 42.3 percent of all console play time, trouncing all other systems. The original Xbox was the next most frequently played system, representing 17 percent of the gamers' total play time for the month, followed by the Xbox 360 (8 percent), the GameCube (5.8 percent), the Wii (4 percent), and the PlayStation 3 (1.5 percent). The remaining play time--just over 21 percent of the whole--was divided between all other console systems.

 

Huh? So how do they KNOW this?

Wouldn't this only apply to TVs connected to this "metering" system - which surely doesn't cover all the TV's in the house?

Somehow, I find it hard to believe that the GC is getting 30% more gametime than the Wii, Xbox more than double the 360 gametime - and that the PS2 30x more gametime than the PS3. GC x4 = PS3????

Just doesn't make sense...

21% - "other" console systems? Like what? NES? SNES? PS1? DC?

That 21% is more than the 360, GC, PS3 & Wii combined.

Reeks of being completely wrong IMO.
