 If you play a game 3 hours a day then after a week you play the same game till 6 hours it still registers a 3 hours a day because its the average of your total play time get it?

No it doesn't.

If I play 3 hours every day for a week, and then 6 hours the 8th day, it does this.

3+3+3+3+3+3+3+6=27

So the average is 3.375

If thats how they calculate it then its not that accurate, and why even calculate it if thats the case then these charts and whatnot are bull. If thats how Nintendo channel does things then its more like a PR ploy to show that there Wii games are played more than accurate data.

 

hrs played/length of time= average hours played over length of time.

You guys are confusing. how can you play 1 hour a day of wii sports and then nintendo tracks it as 30 minutes a day, and then if you play 5 hours it is tracked as an hour. this makes no sense.

 

No, everything is tracked in minutes. But if it is more than 6 hours, it is counted as 6 hours. The Nintendo channel does it correctly, but someone must have told Yushire differently.

BTW, your sentence sort of sums everything up.

"No demographic plays 1 hour a day five times a month. I think this chart more than proves the opposite of this thread title."

Well done.
