Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Ninty reveals the hard truth about playing hours/habits of wii owners

I dont want too know how many hours I spended gaming.. Back in the days I was shocked that I found out that I spended 140 hours on FF7.. If I only spended a little more time on my education..

Indeed, it's "spent" in the past tense.

The problem with this data is it limits any one session to 6 hours. So if I play for a few hours each night but leave the game on in pause overnight and do this for a week or two, it'll still only count it as one session of 6 hours.



hmmm wonder what smash , Mario Kart, MOH2:H, playtime are ....

Does it also only count it if you play longer than 1 hour?  I thought I read that somewhere... I'm probably mistaken though.

If I am not mistaken, then all the 'minigame' compilations will likely be underrepresented.



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.

This made me laugh, or maybe Nintendo just told me to laugh.

Wow. That's a balls move by Nintendo. Not too sure SpEAlburg would appreciate having that particular number posted. Ouch.
I don't generally trust these types of polls as anything resembling trustworthy, which makes the inclusion of Boom Blox all the more puzzling(get it?) Unless it wasn't done through a poll but by reading each individual Wii's stats(like Xbox Live.)
Either way, they probably should have left third parties out of it.

Nintendo does read the individual stats of each Wii to get this data.

But, they only have access to those people who have downloaded the Nintendo Channel, and have agreed to the data sharing service.

I'm also pretty sure that the Nintendo Channel only collects and transmits the data each time you start up the Nintendo Channel, so if people are not logging back in to the Nintendo Channel, their data will stay out of date.

BRAWL: OVER 10MIL PLAYS



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

True Genius

Alright I believe it's time we started a bet thread with Rol and others.

Which one gets more playtime, SSBB or MKWii?

I'd love to see the results!
