| shams said: 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. |
Lets see the Wii and 360 and PS3 combined still do not have the same user base as either the original XBOX or GC let alone the PS2 in the US. So more people have it they have larger libraries so people play more games. It is completely reasonable.
Once Halo 3 comes out and thte next gen userbases grow to a smaller yet comparible number as the previous gen for the GC and XBOX sometime around mid next year what you will see is game time increasing on those systems because of growing libraries versus a staling library. It will take a while for the PS2 to die down don't forget its Madden fanbase on that system.
Makes perfect sense to me. Though I do have issues with Nielson in a big way. their statistical models have been called into question and sometimes they are way off.. Case in point Jericho.
