Id love to know how they measure these "Statistics"

http://www.nielsen.com/solutions/games.html

We gather our data through the National TV home panels, the Nielsen Online (formerly NetRatings) MegaPanel, as well as through weekly survey data of active gamers.

 

 

Survey= no credibility at all

furthermore it's only in the us, it's obvious the ps3 would be behind concidering it's so far behind in sales.

The usage doesn't have to follow the sales trend. It could still trail in sales but be the most played system on the planet, yet it's not. I blame the blu ray.

 

No, it is affected by userbase.... those percentages are estimations for the total time spent gaming between January and October 2008. It is not an average per person.

That is why the old systems are so high on there, because they all have an esablished userbase (both the Xbox and X360 userbase is double the PS3 base, but time is a factor too, so while the X360 base has remained roughly double from January through October, the origial Xbox was triple the PS3 base in January, but reduced to double in October.

similarly the PS2 userbase was 4-5 times the Wii base in January, and in October was about 3 times the size.... which is why the PS2 is higher than anything else.
