Nielsen Console Usage
Grapefruit Juice \| 5:01 PM on 07.26.2007	10 comments

PS2 42% of video game console usage during June.
Xbox 17%
360 8%
GameCube 5.8%
Wii 4%
PS3 1.5%

Make of these numbers what you will. It is interesting that the uber-popular Wii seems to be gathering much dust. Who would have thought that non-traditional/casual players would lose interest in such vapid fare like 'Wii-sports' or 'mini-game collection #145'?

how in the hell is this calculated? at least for sale numbers the NPD is actually based on data.

Grapefruit Juice

ask Nielsen, I have no idea. but I dont see any reason to doubt these #s.

and thanks Destructiod for making my super cool pie-chart look like shit.

Grapefruit Juice. Its not Destructoid that made it look like shit. Its that you made it look like Shit.
Who is Nielsen?

slorojo

I dunno, I'm kinda doubtful of those numbers. I'm curious what demographics those came from.

slorojo

And check the numbers in your pie chart, PS2 shows more than 50% in the graph

Edarios

i would think the xbox 360 would be dominating online, what with XBLA and all. who the fuck buys a microsoft console to play offline?

Kotua

@Edarios: I do. My friend can't afford a 360, so we play offline Co-Op

@kotua
my chart looks crystal clear on my machine, once uploaded D-Toid does the damage.
Nielsen as in Nielsen TV ratings.

thisissami

yeah, haha, like slorojo says... how is the PS2 more than half the chart if it only sold 42%?
