Just as a clarfication. I am assuming that the actual numbers are

PC 87%
360 6.5%
Wii 3.something%
PS3 3.something%

As in, the 360 has 50% of the 'console market share' for online

Anyway, huge jump for the Wii 18-29 in a year. Partially due to Mario Kart, but what other games do we think are responsible. CoD?

Your "clarification" is really wrong.

There were 20,000 people polled.  Approximately 5,000 (25%) of them played games online.  Of those ~5,000 people, 87% gamed online using the PC.  50% of those 5,000 gamed online using the 360.  29% of those gamed online using the Wii, and 20% of those 5,000 people used the PS3 online.

For example, if I were polled I would have answered PC, Xbox 360, Wii.  Many people use multiple systems.  The fewest people used the PS3 and nearly 50% of the online gamers used the 360.

No, you're the one who's wrong: http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/57581

PC - 87%

Consoles - 25%
Xbox 360 - 12.5% (half of the 25%)
Wii - 7.25%
PS3 - 5%
