What Console Do You Play The Most?

The Nielsen Company recently released their Top Ten Lists of 2008 for the US. This report focuses on the top trends in the US of which video games is one of them (ya don't say...). One of the top ten lists related to video games was specific to video game console usage.

NextGen Player is interested to know what game console you play the most?

[Cajun Chicken]

Pea Ess Free

[Cajun Chicken]

360 used secondly for Crackdown, EDF2017, XBOX BC and cheap secondhand multiplats and the good XBLA games.

[RememberThe357]

I think I play my PS3 the most, but like I said, it really depends.

[Agent VX]

Xbox 360 for games and multiplats due to the better online service in XBL.

PS3 for watching bluray movies and a few exclusives.

Sorry folks, but the original Xbox beating the PS3 is just too darn insulting to imagine. That is pathetic!!! ROTFLOL!!!

[ErcsYou]

Most prefer the console they bought first...
Your first console most likely has a huge list of friends and nice amount of trophies/ achievements. Because of this most also prefer there multiplat games on there first next gen system.. collecting achievements or trophies becomes boring when there is nobody to compare them with..

[Itrguy001]

look at the user generated polls 60% are playing ps3 more

[INehalemEXI]

PS3
360
Wii

[RebornSpy]

I totally agree. I got my 360 first, so now i more inclined to get titles for the xbox in order to increase my gamerscore. Also I have many more friends with Xbox's than PS3's.

[macalatus]

Sorry Agent, but the PS2 beating the 360 is just too darn insulting to imagine. That is pathetic!!! ROTFLOL!!!

[RebornSpy]

O.o

[Why dis]

Pay station fee?

Help me out.

I see their site poll voted the winner although most of the people that voted already have the winning console in the poll.

You can get more comments in a average thread on this site. Probably why it was dragged through sites like this.

[y0haN]

Since I got the 360 I have played my PS3 like once, and that was 2 weeks ago. I'm still enjoying my 360, but when KZ2 comes out, the treatment shall be reversed.

[rockleex]

Because they're waiting for the PS3's price to drop.

90% of PS2 owners will buy a PS3 when its price drops. Obviously some of them have already transferred to the Wii. But seeing how rarely they use the Wii, they're just waiting for the PS3. ^_^

[prowiew]

I play more my 360 just because my 3 best friends have the 360.

ps: I think xbox is use more than ps3 because of halo 2

[shovelbum]

It's not even close in my house as far a gaming.

360 - 70% (had longer so multiplat games get bought for it due to friends preference as much as mine)
Wii - 15% (kids and wife mostly but I do like Boom Blox and Bowling)
PS3 - 10% (use almost daily for Blu ray tho) likely to increase soon with KZ2
Dreamcast - 5% (love NFL2K/1 and kids like Crazy Taxi and Rayman 2)
PS2 - hasn't been on in over a year
xbox - same as above

[TrevorPhillips]

PS3 and 360 i love both :)

[Aaron Greenturd]

there should be 3 comment zones on n4g:

1. noob zone (formerly gamer zone)
2. jerk zone (formerly open zone)
3. real gamer zone

you comment belongs in #3 my friend

the wii is a joke, ps[3]60 is win

[original seed]

Aaron "Greenturd"

[bassturd]

Greenturd is right! There should be a section where you have to enter your PSN name and 360 gamertag to post. If they could somehow verify they are legit.

[MiloGarret]

They should, absolutely. FFS, that's a great idea! Do it n4g! It'd really make me respect this site a lot more.

[Death]

1. PS2 - 31.7%
2. Xbox 360 - 17.2%
3. Wii - 13.4%
4. Xbox - 9.7%
5. PS3 - 7.3%
6. Gamecube - 4.6%
7. Other - 16.2%

These stats are insane.

-Death

[Lord Vader]

Xbox 1 is seeing more play time than PS3 ?!?

OMG, that is just SAD.

[RememberThe357]

Those numbers are for here in the U.S.

[bassturd]

I saw these stats awhile ago. Surprised the Wii is so low since it sells so well. People buy it and don't play it huh? PS2 dominates, no surprise there. One of the best consoles made IMO.

[Aaron Greenturd]

Gamerscore: 12115
ps3 trophies: 0

But your unbiased?

hahahahahahahah

[Fowack]

for the secound time in many minutes....

[macalatus]

@death,

The explanation is simple: People play their original Xbox as they wait for their 360s to return from their quarterly repair.

@below,

I'm sure you have better creativity in having a better user ID, Mr. "Multiple Accounts"! lol

[moreover]

or the ps3 sucks so bad

[Aaron Greenturd]

I respect Death, but he's gotta get those ps3 trophies up if he wants me to believe that he sees things clearly...

Or that I don't

[Death]

Trophy support is very limited on the PS3 since it isn't a standard feature. Of all the games I own, Pain is the only one with trophy support and I played the hell out of it before the patch came. If you want to see trophies, send me a game that supports them or wait for Killzone 2 to come out.

As for your remark on my Gamerscore, each game is worth 1000 Gamerscore. I have 12,115. While that seems like a lot to you since achievements and Gamerscore aren't something you are familiar with, that is the equivilant of finishing all of 4 games per year. My Ganerscore is actually low compared to how much I play. In all honesty though, I spend most of my time with the Xbox 360 since it is more fun for me with it's standard features like achievements and Gamerscore and my friends list along with the ease of use when connecting with them and speaking. Your crack about the lack of trophies on my card is ironic since this is a feature that Sony has promised for over 2 years and has failed to deliver on consistantly.

-Death

[bassturd]

how do you even look at people's trophies? I can't even figure out how to see my own other than starting up my PS3. I go to my profile on the PS3 website and can't find em.

Not like it matters tho. I made a new profile and only got Uncharted trophies...only cuz I loved that game so much. Just wonderin

EDIT: BTW Death, trophies are suppose to be mandatory I believe now. So every PS3 game here on out is suppose to have them. Correct me if I'm wrong on that tho. I think, I'm less sure of this tho, that they are required to have headset support as well.

[macalatus]

@death,

I'm trying to respectful here, but I don't think that you're description of PS3 trophies as "very limited" is warranted. It's either that you really don't know about PS3 games or just don't care about them. Why? Because a lot of PS3 games after the summer of 2008 have trophies.

Here is a list:
http://www.thesixthaxis.com...

[Aaron Greenturd]

Death, there are at least 50 games that do support trophies. All you have to do for Pain is update it and you can get trophies. You would know that if you turned on your ps3 and went online.

As far as Gamerscore, mine is 2610, my trophies are 140. Neither one is very high, because I don't just stick to 1 console. See how that works? And here you thought I really hated people like you...

Seriously though, Death, stop using old arguments to support your slant. The ps3 has had trophies for awhile now, on blu-rays, psn games, and even that Linger in Shadows thing. It's like $2 and you get 16 trophies. Yet people like you spend tons of $$ on your Gamerscore, and then come here and act like you are unbiased.

You are not unbiased because you bought a ps3. You become unbiased when you break up with your girlfriend, the Xbox 360.

Just be honest about what you are. I'm honest...about you anyway.

[Death]

Gamerscore and achievements come standard with every Xbox 360 game. Also, I didn't say that no games have trophies, but when you compare what do against those that don't it is a very small percentage. I'm not going to go out and buy a game so that I can brag about an achievement or a trophy. If a game I am playing has it and I earn it by playing then I will have it. My Gamerscore and achievements pretty accurately show what I do while playing. It is rare that I do something just for the sake of the achievement. Like I said, unless I buckle down and buy Little Big Planet anytime soon, the next game I get with Trophy support will be Killzone 2. It would be nice if my existing library supported trophies, but the sad fact remains that they do not.

-Death

[Aaron Greenturd]

Quit trying to change the argument.

The fact remains, dear Death, that what started this whole thing was you flaming me in another thread claiming that you have "honesty and integrity", yet looking through your post history, and from me tricking you into telling me how many ps3 trophies you have, I have made the case that you are a stealth 360 fanboy.

I have proven that you, not even by accident, have not achieved 1 ps3 trophy. You can even get trophies in Home, and that is free.

My case remains strong. You thought I was some brainless idiot fanboy, and what you got was someone who exposed you, plain and simple.

You went pee into the wind and got soaked.

The end.

[GoldenBoy]

Why is anyone really surprised by this. The PS3 has the lowest market share of the major consoles. Here are the US sales to date for all major consoles (this gen and last gen):

PS2 50M
PS3 8M
XBox 16M
360 16M
GC 13M
Wii 21M

So I would expect when you ask the question which console do you play that the PS3 would be low. It hasn't even beaten GC sales in the US yet. So not many people own one so they can't be playing it. By the same token I am not surprised by the PS2. There are some many in the US it should be number 1 for maybe one more year. What is surprising is the strong performance of the 360. More than double the PS3 which is the sales ratio (2:1) but more importantly more than the Wii which sells more. Looks like people play their 360s more than people play their Wiis.

BTW..I am a playstation fan...I play my PS3 way more than anything else.

[Aaron Greenturd]

No need to feel worried man, you didn't have to tell us about your ps3.

The problem is people like Death will say "ZOMFG look at Xbox beating ps3 how saaaaaad for ps3 blahahaha"

yet ignore what #1 says on that chart.

But yes I agree the 360 is doing well, mostly because of the "Deathgrip" hold it has on American males...no pun intended

[Death]

For the last time, I have no trophies for the simple fact none of my games support them. Blame Sony or the devs that don't include them. Your flamming me for this is funny since it points out a flaw with the PS3, not me.

Look at the stats. Let's use your number one spot cominbined with the PS3's position. Together they hold 39% compared to the Xbox and Xbox 360 holding only 27%. North America seen sales of about 13 million Xbox's before it ended production in 2004. That's about a 50% larger userbase than the PS3 has. That would make it less of a shock that it holds 30% more playing time since it has the larger user base. It's odd that it's out of produxtion and gets more time, but whatever.

Now look at the PS2. 31.7% with a userbase of over 42 million in North America it should be at the top spot. Together the PS2 and PS3 have over 50 million consoles in norht America, but according to these numbers they only have a 12% lead over the Xbox and Xbox 360 which has a user base of less than half the consoles sold. Not to mention the PS2 is also still for sale at retail. That's impressive.

-Death

[SL1M DADDY]

It's a well known fact that Death is a Xbox fanboy. Arguing with the likes of him is much akin to tossing pearls to the swine.

As for the article, it is obvious that people love their PS2's still over the next gen consoles but as time goes on and prices drop, the PS3 will be taking many of those devout fans to the HD side of gaming. It's just a matter of time.

Considering that the 360 is as cheap as it is, the 360 would have already began to take the PS2 fans to MS's side if it were what they wanted. Interestingly enough however, people that own a PS2 want PS hardware and will just wait for the PS3 to drop in price.

[Cyber Gamer]

PS3 and probley get a xbox360 when its 20 bucks lol

[MiloGarret]

Your joke was so bad it actually made me laugh.

[callahan09]

It depends on the time of day, time of week, time of month, time of season, time of year, time time time, scenarios, odds and ends and hoo hah. Different games for different times. I played the hell out of my PS3 with Disgaea 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, WipeOut HD, PixelJunk Eden, Siren, Resistance 2, Valkyria Chronicles, etc.

I played the hell out of my 360 with Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Braid, Castle Crashers, Rez, Ikaruga, etc.

Both give me lots of enjoyment for different desires at different times. I'll sometimes go through a stint where I play one of them constantly and the other not at all, then later on that'll switch over the other way, and then inevitably back again.

I do, however, wish that every good 360 game was instead on the PS3. Why? Because my PS3 is quiet, has free online, and has never died on me. MY 360 is annoyingly loud, I'd rather not have to pay to enjoy any of my games online, and it's so far died on me three times. It's got great games that I love to play, so I put up with it all, but if I could've played all those on PS3, I'd have definitely preferred that. I know it sounds fanboyish, but I just like the PS3 more, solely as a piece of machinery (not talking about quality of games).

[Death]

and you have the room on your HDD, install the game. This will remove the spinning of the DVD drive which makes the system pretty quiet. It also develops less heat which lowers the fan speed and will most likely prolong system life.

-Death

[callahan09]

Indeed, in fact I've put about 40 hours into Fable 2 in the past week alone, it's installed on my hard drive (I've left exactly enough room on my drive to be able to install any single disc for a game and have a minimum of 1 gb remaining if the game utilizes a discs maximum capacity... more free space if its a smaller game). The thing is, the system is still loud as hell. I don't fully understand why. My PS3 is literally completely silent except when the drive spins and the optical laser moves, which are relatively quiet sounds. The 360 makes a humming racket just by turning the bugger on. I'm not sure if the newer models make this sound because some people that I've complained about this to claim they don't have this issue, but I've purchased 2 brand new Xbox 360's, one in September of 2006 and a Halo 3 version in September 2007. Currently using the Halo 3 (green) one (I bought it to begin with because my other one had failed twice and Microsoft refused to fix it for free the second time, and Halo 3 was just coming out so I decided to plunge for a new one altogether) ... it makes a helluva racket just turning it on and being idle, much less whenever a disc drive spins.

[Why dis]

#1 either has an real old model, with or without a larger HDD(older models are still louder than new consoles regardless of HDD/installs) or he doesn't have a new 360 with the larger HDD.

Sounds like he is spewing PS3 fan talking points and doesn't know what he is talking about.

Heres how it goes.

*Older 360's are loud(DVD drive and fans)

*Older consoles with larger HDD used for installs are less loud.

*New 360's can hardly be heard due to the silent drive and better fans plus cooler console.

*New 360's with installed games, silent!!!!

[callahan09]

I know exactly what I'm talking about. Don't play the fanboy card, for god's sake. What's up with everybody, nobody can criticize anything without being a fanboy? Ridiculous.

I have a Halo 3 special edition green Xbox 360, manufactured September 2007, and it's loud as hell. What more do you want from me?

[Dino]

but that's only because I haven't bought a 360 yet(soon),and with how often you have to update p.c.'s I've given that up(until Diablo 3 comes out).

[Wile]

I play on the 360 the most, primarily because of XBL. R2 the rest of the time.

[DNAgent]

Because you can't play a defective 360.

[Kushan]

lololololololol

Seriously, do you actually have nothing better to do? Like, I dunno, play the PS3 since it's so amazing and all?

[joebahrjoebahr]

too cool for words mr. i pick on video game systems!!!!

[joebahrjoebahr]

zeebo

[celldomceen1]

My ps3 is getting almost all of my time right now i play cod waw resistance 2 and lbp online all the time. I have gears 2 and fable but i almost never play them. and my wii yeah right.

[Aclay]

I play on my PS3 the most, but even if I did have a Xbox 360, I would most likely still be playing more on my PS3 because if I ever got a 360, I would get one for the exclusives, but I would buy all of my multi-plats + exclusives on the PS3 because I'm just so used to the Playstation controller.

And I'm not sure how the world the Original Xbox gets more playing time than the PS3 because I think most people that bought an Original Xbox have a Xbox 360 by now.

[celldomceen1]

The crazy thing is i bought my 360 first, but as time went by and i bought my ps3 i started to play my 360 less and less i dont think ive even turned it on in at least 2 months.

[Megaton]

I really only play PS3 and PC. Occasionally I'll fire up the PS2, even though my PS3 will play all of my PS2 games. PSP also gets a little use here and there, mostly playing Guilty Gear X2.

[No Way]

My x360 hands down... but, that's cause I only got one game for my PS3 so far. =P

Ask me again in a few months and it may change.

But, I love both systems, why else would I have both. =P

[Kevin McCallister]

Mostly PS3 since I use it for all multiplatform games and my media streaming needs. 360 I mainly play when an exclusive title is out, Wii is never played, and with PSP and DS I go through periods of time where I don't play either of them and then all of a sudden I realize how many games I need to catch up on. About to start on Chrono Trigger DS.

[TheColbertinator]

I mainly play Cod4 on my 360.

[Parapraxis]

I guess this would reflect the stats if it were asked of gamers specifically.
Xbox 360 31% (31 votes)
PS3 61% (61 votes)
Wii 3% (3 votes)
Xbox 0% (0 votes)

2. PS3: (bluray, R2, SvR09, FNR3, VF5,PS2 BC)
3. Dreamcast: (SF3 3rdStrike, SFA3, MvC, MvC2, KoF)
4. N64: No Mercy

That's what I do, toss in an occasional JRPG or platformer and im good.
But Feb, SF4 and KZ2 will take over!!

[callahan09]

For me, in the last one year, I've gotten the following most uses out of individual games (or features) across all my systems, in order from most use out of the last year to least use (Top 15, by most hours, approximations):

1. Disgaea (PSP) ~ 150 hours
2. Persona 3 (PS2) ~ 110 hours
3. Resistance 2 (PS3) ~ 80 hours
4. Jeanne D'arc (PSP) ~ 70 hours
5. Warhawk (PS3) ~ 50 hours
6. Tales of Vesperia (360) ~ 46 hours
7. Fable 2 (360) ~ 43 hours
8. Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds (PS3) ~ 40 hours
9. Disgaea 3 (PS3) ~ 37 hours
10. Folklore (PS3) ~ 35 hours
11. LittleBigPlanet (PS3) ~ 32 hours
12. Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3) ~ 30 hours
13. Fallout 3 (360) ~ 29 hours
14. Blu-Ray (PS3) ~ 16
15. NetFlix (360) ~ 14

P.S. - I do own a Wii and DS and a gaming PC as well, but haven't, in the last year, been engaged by anything on them to the point of becoming addicted like the 15 things above did. Gears of War narrowly misses this one. I literally spent 13 hours with it. It took me 9 hours to beat Gears 2's story, played about 2 hours worth of Horde, found it slightly boring compared to other co-op games, and then moved on to competitive for about 2 hours, which I found laggy and had lots of connection issues so just gave up on and focused my attentions back on to Resistance 2.

Anyway, so it looks like the majority of my attention has been on the Playstation platforms this past year, but that list is kind of skewed because I played a lot of games on all the systems for like 5 to 10 hours total, and those aren't represented on this list. All in all though, I definitely spent more total time on the three Playstation systems combined than anything else.

[ErcsYou]

D@mn son, you got good taste... .where is SSF2THD? and for the record, ill be playing SF4 http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Darkseider]

PS3 most of the time but occasionally the Wii. As for mobile gaming primarily the PSP and once in a while the DS. I even break out some PS2 games on the PS3 now and then that I loved to play.

[LokMessier]

Playstation 3 most of the time, playing Rock Band 2, Metal Gear Online, Little Big Planet, as well as some Soul Calibur 4. Even though I didn't like it as much moving a bit back into it.

On the off chances I'll play on the Wii when I really feel like just screwing around on Mario Kart or Brawl, and on the off chance I take it with me (let alone have it charged) I'll take my PSP and my copy of Monster Hunter as well as Ghost in the shell.

[gta2800]

Wait, where did they get these numbers? are these based off every single console sold? Or was this from a small group of people? I doubt these numbers represent every console out there.

[omodis420]

Its just polling data. Go to the source and they will tell you how many people were sampled.

[ambientFLIER]

COD4 on the 360 90% of the time, and the other 10% is GT5P.

[TheColbertinator]

Good man.I play Turismo as well

[ambientFLIER]

I love the disagrees. What are you dorks disagreeing about? Obviously it's just to spite me, since a personal fact cannot be disagreed with, but just know that it actually makes me laugh, so keep it up!

[omodis420]

This is the best time to go back and play games that you may have missed. Recently I have been picking up PS2 and Gamecube games for like 5 bucks a pop.

I Love my

PS3, PS2, and Gamecube

[silverchode]

dreamcast

[bassturd]

I miss that system.

I also miss the 3DO. I dunno why. I have fond memories of Need for Speed, Geko, and Primal Rage (i think) on that system. Oh and Fade to Black I believe was also on it.

[trancefreak]

my dreamcast is nicely tucked away so one day its worth increases ill have it ready too go

also never had any hardware issues with the dreamcast it was solid

[anubis12]

you'd understand the data better if you new how and what nielsen does...

[NaiNaiNai]

i play my 360 most, and then my ps2 in second. but in overall time my ps2 took the cake, maybe once i get my ps3 it will be up there for awhile since i have to catch up on MGS4, and some LBP.
-nai-

[Lord Xire]

I play my Ps3 when there's a shining exclusive.

I play my 360 for the RPG's, Clan Matches and Multiplats.

[Lombax]

Ya, I said PSP. I got some CFdubya rinning on it so now I can play PS1, NES/SNES, and Genesis games on it. Not to mention Loco Roco 2 and Super Stardust.

My PS3 gets most my attention though. With all the new games that came out in Nov/Dec, I'm still playing catch up. Then there is my little MGO addiction. (little = 1,000+ hours)

[Faztkiller]

will change when halo 3 maps come out unless killzone 2 is out

[Shnazzyone]

Hah! ps3 was sandwiched between the xbox and the gamecube. . I'm surprised 360 beat the wii. But with the current lineup. I'd understand why.

[trancefreak]

ps3, pc, ps2.

[deno]

1. Sega dreamcast: (capcom vs snk, sf3rd strike, sonic adv2, zero gunner, cannon spike, le mans racing, under defeat, cosmic smash, rainbow cotton 2, rayman 2)

2. Sega saturn: (Guardian heroes, shinobi legions, rayman, street fighter alpha 2, dark stalkers, X-men vs street fighter, gradius, radiant silver gun, don don pachi, saturn bomberman, nights into dreams, rainbow cotton)

3. Xbox 360: (viking, braid, halo 3, rez hd, ikaruga, bionic commando, MK ultimate, street of rage 2, bioshock, lost planet)

4. Playstation3: (uncharted, little big planet, resistance, turok, unreal tournament 3)

PS3

XBL: Death roW247

[PS360PCROCKS]

360 for sure. Gears, Halo and COD are my online games of choice.

[AWBrawler]

The Wii!

If I'm not on N4g, Joystiq, or at work, I'm most likely playing the Wii or maybe the DS. (Sonic Chronicles was awesome.) Now I think I play mostly Wii games. I use to play a lot of VC and Cube, but the Wii has a stronger library this year believe it or not. So I've been busy with RPGs, Brawl, and Dokapon Kingdom was one heck of a fun rental as was Nights. Gonna buy that one soon. both of them.

[Mahr]

Probably the PS2 for me, followed by my Wii, and my 360, respectively. This is of course not counting my iPhone or DS, which get a lot of use while on the go.

It's nice to know that the Nielsen people at least partly share my habits.

[AWBrawler]

Who ever disagrees with me saying what i like and what I play. GET A LIFE!!!! You say Dokapon KIngdom is lame but never played it I'm sure. What if I said the same to LBP knowing I've yet to play it?

[Mahr]

Well, statistically speaking, most people around this site haven't played DK, but even if they had, whether games are good or bad is a subjective matter.

Sometimes, you gotta say Forget the naysayers cause they don't mean a thing and this is what style we bring.

[PirateThom]

My PS3 gets used for pretty much everything. Exclusives, multiplatform games unless it's really bad like in the case of The Orange Box.

360 gets used for the occasional exclusive, some arcade titles.

Wii is never on, my SNES and NES get more use than it.

[Jdoki]

Really depends on what games are out!

In order, over the whole of 08, I would say I have played....

PS3
By a huge margin - played through a lot of old games again to get Trophies, all multiplats bought on PS3 this year, loads of PSN titles, and a few exclusives.

DS
Mainly JRPG's, and various quirky games

PC
Was playing WoW until I quit shortly after Lich King launched. Would probably have played it more if my machine was good enough to run some of the newer titles at a decent res/frame rate/detail setting. :(

PSP
Mainly Disgaea

360
Only bought 2 games all '08 for 360 - Fable 2 and Gears 2 - was gathering dust for most of the year. Oh, and one XBLA game.

PS2
God of War 1 and 2 and Persona 3 FES (not played enough Persona yet!)

Wii
Gathering dust, eventually donated to parents

Neo Geo Pocket Color
SNK vs Capcom Cardfighters Clash is still the best - just started (yet another) play through!

Honourable mentions:
Dreamcast - used once to show a friend that the graphics are still great!
Jaguar - Used once to prove the graphics sucked, but Alien vs Predator was awesome!! :)

[HDgamer]

Play your games wait, fanboys never do that they argue over numbers taken from a random sample of people and thats pretty much how you get a statistic. The article nowhere mentions where it was taken, the time of the day and what other questions were asked. Take a statistic class and you will learn that this is nothing more than a convenience sample that also results in biased questions with biased results. Face it you fanboys can't do much of anything you're nothing more than a shell of former gamers who died when sex is replaced with loyalty to a game console.

Hey I looked at you comment history then looked at your comment here again. I enjoyed the irony. Thanks for that.

BTW Death questions facts that support both sides of the fence (including the nielsen ratings). I don't think you can categorize him as a fanboy.

EDIT:

If you want t know how neilsen conducts their surveys check these out

XBox 360 FTW!

lol @ PS3 behind the original XBox.

real gamers know what's good!

[XCWarrior]

Wii is first
DS is second
PS2 is third
PC is fourth
And I'll pay my N64/NES from time to time. There is your "other"

[kewlkat007]

Well that's it folks..

[drdistracto707]

...my console

[ThaGeNeCySt]

I play my 360 a little more than my PS3 for obvious reasons (had the 360 1st so I was able to get more games for it)

things change when new PS3 exclusives drop though (got uncharted and found myself playing PS3 more than 360.. same with MGS4 and Little Big Planet)

[Knightofelemia]

Well I'll be playing my Wii and PS3 even more since my XBOX decided to imitate a brick.

[tiberious151]

I think I play 360 most, wii second but only because the games are deeper and longer on the 360.

[sit down droid]

pretty void test in the reason that xbox fanboys will vote for you know what and sony fanboys will vote for you know what.

[Figboy]

i just have more games for it.

for the 360, i play

Fable 2
Mass Effect

for the PS3, i play

Resistance 2
Litte Big Planet
Warhawk
Uncharted
Ratchet and Clank Future
Wipeout HD
Pixel Junk Eden
Pixel Junk Monsters
Metal Gear Solid 4
Folklore (still beating all the extra content and collecting all the monsters)

soon Valkyria Chronicles,

and all the multi-plats like Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Prince of Persia, Bioshock, Eternal Sonata etc.

i prefer the PS3's controller, and the free online. it's not a statement over which console is "better," just which console i prefer to play more. oh, and i always wanted to say this: "and all my friends play PS3 online, and none play on LIVE (we're all adults, with bills and other responsibilities, so an extra bill at the end of the year for the "privilege" of playing online is an unnecessary expense)."

The PS double !!!

[MrJack]

The Poll shows the PS3 getting the most usage, but these doesn't suprise me, the PS3 seems to be geared more towards the 'hardcore' gamer, due to it's higher price tag, so I would expect them to be on the gaming websites more.

[Droid Control]

I play a little Drakes fortune, its not a bad game, but i prefer tomb raider underworld which i play on my 360.

I'm currently enjoying Dead spce on my 360 as well.

Basically, i prefer the 360 pad, and the online community. The connectiveness and the DLC which sadly the ps3 lack quite a bit of.

For instance, DLC for Tomb raider underworld is exclusive for the 360...

I love my ps3 for blu-ray though as my standalone samsung player sucks!

[Radiodread]

I play the most. AND TOMB RAIDER: UNDERWORLD AND ITS SH!TTY DLC SUCKS!

[darthv72]

it has been the wii. I have been using it to play paper mario for the gc. I also been using my 360 for catching up on heroes and 30 rock with netflix and watching dvd's upscaled on my ps3.

I also recently picked up a neogeo cd system so I am having fun old school style.

[shawnsl65]

that's odd.. i wonder who they surveyed and where are they getting their "accurate" stats from. There sure are lots of smokes and steam up in the air lately.

Been playing DOTA on the comp lately.. 2nd to that i've been playing God of War 1 and 2 on the PS3, some resistance, then hop onto the PSP to play Final Fantasy.
