I call bullshit on the 5 hours a day. Since some consoles aren't even turned on everyday they must mean for every console that connects online it is 5 hours average but that is still way too high of a number. Surely most people only get to spend an hour a day playing games. Then that would mean the rest are playing a ridiculous amount of hours a day. Even 5 hours a day on average is a bit too much to be playing every day.

I'd say my PS4 has an average of under an hour played each day. I just can't wrap my head around 5 hours for a whole install base. Even taking 4.2 million people playing 5 hours a day for 90 days will equal to 1.89 billion hours. Which is almost double the figure they give so that doesn't add up.

they said five hours on xbone not five hours gaming.  that stat sounds quite perfect to my expectations.

i was on my ps4 for at least 5 hours today and i only gamed for a bit of it.  watched a few episodes of archer, bob's burgers, and breaking bad on netflix though.

They also said over 1 billion hours when I showed it would be over 2 billion. Which number do you think they would use?

Your link doesn't back anything up. The ammount of kids who own an xbox one at this stage is probably quite low. Kids usually aren't early adopters and just because they spend 5 hours watching tv doesn't mean they will spend the same amount of time on a console. 

 You could have played it for 5 hours a day for the last week. I didn't turn mine on for the last week so the average would be 2.5 hours unless you don't count consoles not turned on. If you do you would have to play 10 hours a week to make up for me not playing.
