June 4, 2008 - A study recently conducted by consumer research group Nielsen found that younger gamers spend most of their time playing the Xbox 360, and older gamers while away the hours with the PlayStation 3. In both age groups, the Wii came in a distant second in total amount of play time received.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
Those numbers are a little tough to follow, but the results are really wierd.
That explains why 360 gamers on live are so childish.
ummmmmm......none from me : )
The PS3 has a higher "Average of sessions per day" than Wii (2.12 to 2.07)
PS3 has a higher "Average session length(minutes)" than Wii (72 to 53)
PS3 has a higher "Average usage days per month" than Wii (21.06 to 19.66)
Than how does the Wii have a higher "%of total console minutes" 12.33 to 24.94?
It's kind of obvious that older gamers would spend more time on the PS3. Casual gamers don't spend that much time gaming during one session of gaming anyways on the Wii and there attention spans don't last that long.
But I do know that there are a LOT of younger people with Xbox 360's because: 1. Xbox 360 Arcade is cheap to get and it makes them accessible to the younger crowd that can't drop $400-$500 dollars for a console, and 2. On a lot of Youtube videos about Xbox Live, you can almost always hear these little 10-11 year old kids in the background cursing and whatnot, it's just so funny. On the Playstation Network I have yet to hear little kids Online, it's almost always middle aged teens (15-16) and up.
