69 isn’t the only porn number
Pornhub, which I am told by other people familiar with the webpage is a site for viewing adult, pornographic films, has released its statistical year in review. It’s not as detailed on the videogame console side of things like last year’s data, which we covered here deeply, but the infographics are still interesting, particularly as porn terminology is hilarious in the abstract.
Teen, lesbian, and milf all retained top search billing, for example, but “step mom” pole vaulted into the top 5 worldwide search terms (number 2 in the US) and “step sister” into the top 15 worldwide (the biggest ranking change, going up 53 spots in 2014), top 10 in the US.
Back to the videogame side, there’s been a shift. The 2013 numbers attributed 55% of console porn viewing to PS3 users (compared to 39% on Xbox). 2014’s numbers have Xbox at 45.7%, PlayStation at 40%. The Wii (8.2%), Vita (5%) and 3DS (1.1%) finish things off.
That marks a 69.9% increase in the Wii’s market share, which is funny ’cause that’s a sex number. Because these numbers are a percentage of a shared whole, it doesn’t mean fewer PlayStation users are using their consoles for porn (plus, this is just data from one porn streaming service, of which I am told by people familiar with them there are many), but it is likely that a lot more Xbox users are using the service, which would account for their turgid, swollen numbers.
