The only breakdown I've seen thus far is that Wii owners are wealthier and more affluent than PS3 or 360 owners. Haven't seen anything else since E3.

Also they look, smell and taste better.

Heh. Seriously though, that's an actual study done by Nielson Group. Wii owners are wealthier and more affluent, on average.

Not owners, households. Maybe more Wii owners still live with their mommies.

Given that hardcore console gamers are typically very young -- they tend to be 13-18 year old males -- it's unlikely that a larger percentage of Wii owners are still family bound than PS3/360 owners. Possible, of course, but unlikely.

It's more likely that the owners of all three consoles are largely below the age of 18 -- in which case it's simply that richer parents are tending to buy their children Wiis, while poorer families are more commonly buying their children PS3/360s.
