Interesting. It just proves a lot of the people who say "lol, Wii is collecting dust" probably don't own one anyway since I doubt that many people's Wii "collect dust" when the Wii sells the most SW.

I wonder how much % of PS2 owners migrated to the Wii, PS3, and 360 since we last heard. We got an analysis early last year I think which put it Wii > 360 > PS3.

Sometime ago Benga quoted some study that said that 70% of Wii owners also owned a PS2.

Like others have said, this seems way too high.  The self-selected NPD "Consumer Panel" doesn't seem to be very much like the population at large.  I remember a similar article as Noname, and I believe that those percentages were in the single digits.

These are huge numbers. I mean, around half of the people owning a console owns more than 1? Freaky!

The problem we have (as Scottie pointed out) is the sample group is highly skewed. I remember reading an article a year ago that said that the average console owner is VERY unlikely to own any other system. But this data at least gives us a glimpse into the world of folks who go online for gaming news.

Found it.  This article puts those who own two consoles at 3%, and those who own three at 2%.

The data actually originated from the NPD, so I'm not sure why there is such a big change.
