I posted two commments here http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=7242 but most of you probably won't see it so....

85% of those polled play games online on the PC; significantly more than on consoles: 48% of the group play on Xbox Live, with 30% apiece for the Wii and PS3.

Online gaming time is up, however. Those who claimed to play online play for an average of 8 hours per week, which is a fairly large increase from the 7.3 hours per week of 2009. Xbox 360 owners play for 7.3 hours a week on average, while PC gamers play for 6.6 hours, and PS3 gamers, 5.3 hours.

PC= 6.6 hours per week
360= 7.3 hours per week
PS3= 5.3 hours per week
Average is 8 hours per week in the 2010 survey. You notice anything missing? Wii wasn't even mentioned in this article. If the Average is 8 hours a week then...
Wii= well over 8 hours played per week on average.

Wii=HardCore and PS3/360=Casual confirmed.

Edit: As pointed out to me the 8 hour average time spent online could just be a mix different consoles. Although as of yet still unproven this seems to be a likely scenerio.

this doesn't make any sense.

I could just be making an ass of myself here and reading this wrong but it says that the average person plays 8 hours a week and if you add up the average play times for the PC and the two consoles listed the average is only 6.4 hours per week.

So either there was a typo in the original story or I'm not seeing something.

There must be either something wrong with the phrasing it used, or that average number is wrong.

Or I could just be in denial. lol

But when I think about it. There really aren't that many online games for wii. Unless people playing smash brothers and MKwii play for 90+ hours a week, I can't see how that's possible.

Also, it's a survey, which is always liable to be completely fucked.

Maybe it's because most wii owners are women and children. Both of which have limited brain capacity compared to a male. So there might be some problems with being able to tell time correctly :)

despite being a douchebag, the male above is obviously smarter than these women.

Hey prof. I own a Wii :(

The 8 hour average could be the amount of time those gamers spent online. It could include playing on both pc and x360.

Since it doesn't say what that average is you cannot say that the only other available option is Wii.

You could be right though.

I am playing online:

• 2 hours on my PS3
• 2 hours on my PC
• 4 hours on my Xbox 360

= 8 hours / week

and an average of 4 hours on my 360.^^

You know I totally missed that. I'm just looking for some clarification because the Wii wasn't even mentioned here.

Aren't Virtual Console and WiiWare games higher than PSN or XBOX Live sales though. That means that Wii online awareness is definatlely there.

ahhh this looks like it
