http://www.gamecyte.com/nielsen-ratings-show-wow-ps2-still-on-top-us-gamers-play-more-original-xbox-than-ps3

Bit bizzare i think. Incase you don't know gamecyte (for the life of me i had no idea who they was either) they got their information from here:

http://www.nielsen.com/solutions/games.html

Interesting to see Halo Combat Evolved up there for the PC as well and Halo 2 last year. Anywho don't shoot the messenger..just found it interesting.

lol Next youll be saying that the 360 is the best console ever. To be honest, I too find the PS3 similar to the original xbox. Neither were too hot on the sales but i prefer the games on these consoles as opposed to their competitors.

In terms of games I'm interested in on the console. I enjoyed the original Xbox the least of all three consoles last gen. It had some really good games and my favorite of all, Shenmue 2, but not nearly as many titles I liked as on the other two. Same with the PS3 for me this gen. Out of all the exclusives on each system this gen PS3 has the least amount that interest me at this point.

How many PS2 owners jumped into the PS3? The Xbox brand expanded the market share of the brand, where as the PS3 shrunk its share.

This changes pretty regularly. We really actually putting stock in something like this now? Makes you wonder where the numbers are taken from.

Console enjoyment changes. Last year i enjoyed my 360 slightly more than my PS3 and this year i enjoyed my PS3 alot more than my 360. It's all timing. As for which is played more out of all the consoles...i seriously don't see how they would get that type of info. Seems like pretty much BS info IMO. I could easily make a website and list something like that as well with no actual proof.

Interesting you say that because the Xbox was my favorite last gen console as well and the PS3 is my favorite current gen console. I do agree that they have a similar sort of appeal. I mean the 360 is almost like the new PS2 with it's big-time sales (Ignoring Wii for a moment since the Wii phenomenon is unlike anything in gaming history) and it's JRPG's. The PS3 is like the Xbox in that it comes with a standard hard-drive and is the most powerful system. The PS3's exclusives (Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain) remind me of the kind of games that were exclusive to the Xbox (or were better on the Xbox last gen).

How does this make any sense? Are you saying people should only play the most popular system or else they should be questioned for it? I guess we should all get Wii's then and abandon the 360 and PS3

Wii is for the casual fix and 360 is for the hardcore fix. Both have enough sales and popularity to warrent both.

And yes, to everybody who enjoys the last place console the most, they should be questioned.....heavily.

Not really. These surveys go out to all certain demographics so the bulk of hardcore PS3 owners may not be represented in this survey. I'd question anybody who is loyal to an inanimate object. I would question you, but you creep me out a little.You are definitely down for your cause.:|

i don't think that this generation of consoles can be compared to the last generation because of prices. The 360 and PS3 are similar, the PS3 comes with more features in the system so it costs more so the 360 is winning in sales due to low price over the ps3, now the wii is just selling to everyone else, last gen there were 3 systems that were similarly priced with similar features.

It's also better than Bioshock. System Shock 2 was a really dark game, Bioshock was not. Dead Space was a really dark game with a proper invetory system and some kick ass weapons. I wish Bioshock was like that.

I also have Bioshock on the PC. I liked it, but I enjoyed Dead Space more than Bioshock. Just my own opinion.

I still don't understand why so many people hate the PS3. I mean most games released for 360 are also out for PS3 and vise versa. They are so incredibly similar game-wise.

Yep. Check out my game list in my profile. I have more than 50 GC games, about 30 PS2 games and only about 14 Xbox games.

It's also strange how someone could say that the original Xbox has better games than the PS3 when it has a very similar library to the 360.

It not in last place, it is owning the Gamecube and "Other"

How do they get the info for this?

A friend of mine was a "Neilson family" and there was this box with a huge amount of wires and cables that was plugged into every media device in the house no matter what it was, tv, vcr, dvd, game system, you name it and it ran through the box before it ran to the tv. That's how they collect the info.

That guy ticked me off, I swear to God he singlehandedly kept saved by the bell on the air throughout the entire 1990's. The jerk.

When his family moved out of the house the equiptment stayed with the home not the people, the next people that moved in became the new "neilson family".

I don't know, different tastes I guess, but I have Bioshock on PC and it is one of the worst games I've ever played. The levels are essentially EXACTLY the same. Go around searching for a big daddy, kill it, move on to next level, rinse/repeat. The storytelling is also pathetic due to being told through small audio tidbits.

As for the thread, there is no possible way to measure console usage among such a large population. It is completely invalid. Also, the notion that the original X-Box had better games than the PS3 is ludacris. What did it have? Halo and KOTOR are the only ones that really stick out in my mind.

Plenty of ps3 users and owners out there. It doesnt matter how many people play, its how you play and who with.

Numbers do count in online, ive never struggled to play online without any people online in a game, match or server.

So is it fine or does it suck. Make up your mind.
