The majority of wii owners was proven to be 18+ males at like 60% ownership or something. Plus you just proved my point. In your household, your wii gets played 5mins-1 hour 10 times a month and 5 times a month by your daughter for 1 hour. that equals 15 times a month for about 20-30 minutes which is not what the chart shows. 15 times a month is already ~three times more than the chart shows. If you think you are in the majority, then there are a large percentage that do not play EVER. and hence why i said it proves the opposite.

Okay this is all antidotal but:
My daughter has her OWN Wii. She plays GH or DDR or HoTD maybe 5 times a month for about an hour. Exactly as this data suggests. Girls are at least 30% of Wii owners according to Nintendo and that percentage is growing. DS is over 50% now.
My useage is similar except I'll go on binges with games like Fire Emblem which increases my time. But many months this would be true of myself too, or would be if not for Wii Fit (30 minutes 4 times a week)
My friend (39) also plays about 5-10 times a month for about an hour. I know because he almost exclusively plays online against me or my son.
My son is the heaviest user by far but he only plays SSBB or Mario Kart now either online against above friend or with his buddies at lunch or after school. Wants a 360.
His friend owns a Wii sitting in a closet collecting dust as he plays his PS3 instead.
So yes there's some heavy users but they are balanced out by those Wii in the closet. On avg, most Wii owners (totally not represented by VGChartz users) would follow what the data suggests (IMO). And I don't see any problem with that since that would be the pattern of 90% of the population.
