The statement says: "Users of PS3 showed the highest level of usage frequency". How does that translate to "The gap should be around 1.8-1.9m"? You know that statement means that the people who do own a PS3, use it more than the people who own a 360 or Wii, relatively. And nowhere do I see them mention reliability either, but it's a well known fact Wii is the most reliable.

You're just speculating, which is why I said we couldn't have nice things.

Just caught you there in the Highlighted section. More usage is the precursor to console success.  It'll translate when VGchartz updates. We can have nice things when we reason with justification.

That has nothing to do with sales...at all. 

It has only things to do with sales. Again sales figure isn't the issue to be highlighted..this is the problem. Halo 2 sold well, but did xbox succeed?  RE 4 was epic and sold well on Nintendo Game Cube, did the console succeed? PS3 was the best hardware this gen, did it get the first place this gen?

Wii was the weakest this gen, yet it sold insanely well during its initial period. PS2 was weaker, still remains the King of consoles. What is the common factor?

Reliability.

Now that evolves over the period by carefully understanding who the customers are(true fan-base). Now both have slim  versions, consumes less power and has less production cost. In this case, 360 and PS3 managed to scoop laurels at times with the latter being more approved on a worldwide basis.(weekly figures prove). Both had their ups and downs.

Eg. RROD was a serious issue than the PSN hack.  The hardware failures must have really pissed some of those unfortunate users around the time. Now honestly if someone's behind a screen and his/her console's network got either breached or failed as hardware, you rely on a hardware that still plays games.

WTF is my point? Sales never imply actual success. More shipments can fabricate a scenario. Now I'm still trying to fetch data on actual console shipments worldwide.

When a console is being used more, it's being accepted by gamers around the world as an ideal choice. That translates into sales eventually. PS3 is infact the best selling console on the worldwide basis.(weekly figures don't disapprove)

My whole reason for this type(just to make clear in a resounding manner), post adjustments are to be made by the site, and we'll see figures that will speak for themselves. Now that's spot on. Period.
