Doubt that thing is true. Get a PS3! I'll let other people give you reasons. I'm too lazy..

Bad choice selling the 360. Never good to sell a gaming system, especially if you have enough to buy the other one (considering you do). Especially in your case where "all" your friends have 360s and only 2 have PS3s. If multiplayer is your thing, to be honest, you should get a 360. But since this is a "why should I get a PS3" thread, the 09 lineup is looking real solid. Uncharted 2, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, InFamous, are but some of the major titles coming out for the PS3. It has a web browser (through wireless means for FREE if that tickles your fancy!), plays bluray, and it's free to play online! Also, the PS Store is greatly expanding with PS1 content, along with the video store adding 100s and 100s of titles to its repertoire. What more can you want?! By the way, you coulda done without the chart :P

The image's list looks wrong. Wii should be above 360 and PS3 should be above the original X-box. I don't even want to know where you got this.

Lol Why'd you add the chart? Perhaps one of the reasons why the PS3 isn't played as much is because people can't afford the luxury.

you should get a ps3 because:

- they are more reliable

- there controllers are chargeable so you don't need to buy batteries

- have better graphics

- turn on quicker

- they have SIX AXIS controllers which means its got motion sensor functions like tilting the controller left, right, up or down which works well on most racing games and some other games

- the controllers are a more comfortable shape

- has a wide selection of FPS games

- has web browser

- has PlayStation store which has everything from free demo's to themes or full games which aren't that expensive

That chart by Nielsen is incredibly misleading & assuredly flawed. It doesn't take into account the greater versatility of the PS3 as compared to the other systems listed.Like many PS3 owners, when I'm not gaming on my PS3, I'm watching Blue-ray movies on it. Obviously, the number of minutes (which is a stupid way of attempting to quantify a system's popularity, BTW) I use my PS3 as a Blue-ray player will proportionally affect the average number of minutes I use the system as a gaming machine.

What am I missing here?

The chart is correct. Sales don't mean console usage. This proves most 360/PS3 gamers theories that people buy a Wii and quickly get bored of it. Nuyorican84, you can't use Blu-ray to say it's wrong, because on 360 you can watch DVD's and there's a rise in movie usage on the 360 because of Netflix. The number of people who watch Blu-ray on PS3, and DVD on 360 is probably pretty similar.

Just go get one and quit trying to get people to do your research for you (or make your decision for you).

First of all. I don't buy those stats because of the fact that

1) not everybody has internet, so they can't know who's playing what at all times: unless "big brother" is actually watching.

2) I've been a gamer for a while, and I've never seen anyone play a game (outside the old arcade types) for just a couple of minutes. Heck, the opening cinemas are longer than that on some games.

3) Does it really matter how long others are gaming if you're limited on time?

4) Don't worry about what others are playing on which system. Make a stand, and decide what you like. What system has more of the games that interest you?

Stats don't mean anything. Granted the game you play online does matter. Unreal Tournament 3 and Hot Shots Golf 5 had hardly anyone, but Warhawk, Resistance 2, Burnout and Call of Duty had plenty. There is enough people playing on all systems so don't worry about not being able to play with anyone else. The chances you get stuck with a game no one plays are almost non existent. Who knows the games I mentioned could have more players as of now. I am only speaking as of launch.
