If only 29% of Wii gamers play online, what does that say of World at War?
There are 500k accounts and has sold close to a million. That would mean the online penetration would be about 50%.

 

Well, are you able to make multiple online accounts on the same Wii? If so, your logic doesn't work.

 

Not that I know of.

You can make multiple accounts. I have 3 in my game. 

But...I wasn't using any kind of logic :p I was just trying to ask a question, which obviously failed.

why do you take such offense to the data? Do you know for a fact how many people play online with their PS3s? Or are you just cheesed that the numbers aren't what you'd like them to be? Honestly...

Hes upset that the PS3 is the worst even though it has wifi and free online. This just goes to show you ppl care about the games and PS3 has no games like Halo, Gears, Kart, Brawl.

What is there to make sense of, you take a random sample of users a large number like a few thousand, ask them questions, and then compare... simple it... it's how stats are made, it's not like when they say "__% of people in the world eat meat" they didn't ask everyone in the world they asked a sample of people... how hard is that?

Not surprised one bit. I actually thought the PC would be higher.

It's amazing - how paid LIVE vs. free PSN - PS3 - and Wii. Especially with the amount of hate toward the $72 a year LIVE vs. free. Wow.

Because there is a difference between X% of Y owners game online and X% of online gamers use Y.

It goes to show how awesome the Xbox 360 is. I will definately remember this for when the next PSN vs Live debate rolls around.



Tease.
