 Also the question states  atleast one to two hours a week. What if someone played 5 hours a week? Why not stated it "atleast one hour a week" instead. 


It's an unusual phrase, but anything over one hour counts.


Yet when it comes to surveys how the question is asked makes a big difference in the answers.

Right... I'm not sure what you're getting at, to be honest.  They asked people how many hours per week they played.  Reggie's summarizing everyone who picked "at least one to two hours per week" and up, then lumped them together.

It would have been better if Reggie had summarized the results as "more than an hour a week," rather than just restating the lowest qualifying category, but how Reggie summarizes the results  has no relationship to how the survey was taken.

 So we don't know exactly how the question was ask or answer only got the summarized Reggie version.

My wife could possible answer yes of using the Wii one hour a week because of wit fit.

I couldn't ask yes to Wii,Ps3 nor 360 since I don't use one console atleast one hour a week. The closest I could come would be PS3 as a DVD player.

 Yet the 360 and PS3 is use many more hours by me than the few hours my wife uses the wii. The survey would suggest the wii is uses by adults  in my house more than HD consoles yet that is far from the truth. The wii in fact is the least active.
