Id love to know how they measure these "Statistics"

http://www.nielsen.com/solutions/games.html

We gather our data through the National TV home panels, the Nielsen Online (formerly NetRatings) MegaPanel, as well as through weekly survey data of active gamers.

 

 

Survey= no credibility at all

 

Same.  They give a general idea but nothing concrete.  My main problem with it is everybody lies.  That an a minority is used to represent a majority.  An I mean a very small minority used to represent a very large majority.  Just not right.

Within a couple of years the Neilsen system will have the perfect measure of use for Televisions and rated electronics. I went on their website to check out their ratings system a year ago. I hadn't signed up for a thing. A week later a Neilsen salesman was at my house trying to give me a free monitor box for my television set and was willing to pay me $25 to take it. This monitor box had a button for every member of the family and you had to press it daily so it can monitor your viewing. Of course I didn't take it, but this should give you some idea of how serious these guys are. They will know what TV shows you watch, how much of the games you play, your favorite channels everything. They want to know how you think at all times of the day as far as connected consumer electronics.

That's a bit unnerving in a way.

 Yeah, thats what I thought when it happened to me.



32% and 10% of ps2 and xbox users respectively are still playing with last gen console. That's huge potential sales for pswii60. Now, it's up to sony nintendo or microsoft to woo those last gen gamers.

I wonder how they are really getting this data.
