No, dude they counted after all 3 consoles were launched. Don't have to be so upset dude. PS2 just has much better libary than wii. PS3 is played much more in Germany, France, England and Australia :D

Yes.... I know.
You will have to post a link, but if it is indeed the Neilsen survey then these are the facts:
1. It was a survey using a sample of people, similar to what VGChartz does to find out sales (except and even smaller sample of the market than VGC uses)
2. It was console usage for the USA only, during 2008.
3. The size of the PS2 userbase during that time was between 40 million at the start of the year, and 43 million users by the end, each with an average of 11 games..... so say 41.5 million users times 11 games
4. The size of the Wii userbase during that time was between 7 million at the start of the year, and 17 million at the end of the year, each with an average of about 6.5-7.5 games (about 6.5 at the start of the year, it's higher now)..... so say 12 million users times 7 games.

Do you see the difference?
If you hadn't noticed.... in that same survey, the original Xbox had more time spent on it than the PS3 in 2008.... that is because it had userbase of 14.5 million or so, and an average games per person of more like 10 than the PS3s 6-7

I am sure they counted same numbers of wiis and PS2s sold. And lucky for wii that it was only US which was counted. In Europe (expesily in England ) Wii is collecting more dust than my history book. I think DS is most played in Europe. And lots of people who bought PS2 are using their PS2 for DVD movies not games. So wii got beaten by half DVD player and half gaming console

No they did not.... it was an extrapolation of a small sample to represent the whole, otherwise why the fuck do you think the original Xbox beat the PS3, the console died 2 years ago so hardly any new games are bought, yet it was played more the the PS3.
And you really don't know where you are going regarding Europe.... in general playtime is lower across the board for all consoles but the difference in percentage between consoles will not differ too much.
I would say Europe will show slightly more bias towards the PS2 and 3, and bias against the Xbox 360... and neutral with the Wii (although the percentage will drop for Wii due to the bias towards the PS consoles, the Wii will likely take the lead as the most played 7th gen console because the X360 will fall further)
