Video Games
Percentage of households that own a device they specifically use for gaming: 73%
Percentage of households that own a video game console or handheld system: 54%


So... are they trying to tell me that 1 in 5 households in the US have a PC that's used specifically for gaming, and no consoles at all? Then why do sales of most PC games, well... suck? I call BS on Neilsen's figures from this alone.

The vast majority of time spent gaming is done on PC games, mostly free flash games, but WoW helps boost the numbers too.



Oh, I'm aware that a lot of people play games on the PC; my issue comes to the Neilsen wording of "specifically." If people are buying a PC to play Peggle, I have an issue here. I can see people buying one for WoW (even if it's not for me), but I don't really see the 1 in 5 bit either. (The difference between those with a gaming device and those with a gaming system being 19%.)
