Nielsen: Xbox 360 Most Popular Among Younger Gamers Posted by XanTium | June 5 14:09 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From gamasutra.com: [QUOTE] A recent study conducted by Nielsen Media Research revealed that the Xbox 360 is the most popular next-generation console amongst 10-26 year olds, its users turning on the console an average 28 days per month, each average lasting 74 minutes. Though the average time spent during PlayStation 3 sessions, 72 minutes, wasn't that much less, users only turned on the Sony console an average 21 days per month. Users spent time with the Wii an average 20 days per month, but only for about 53 minutes each session. The study also found that among users aged 27 and up, the PlayStation 3 was the most popular, with users spending time with the console 28 days per month for an average 52 minutes per session. The older users turned on their Xbox 360s only 19 days per month for an average 55 minutes per session. The Wii fared even worse with the older demographic, with users turning the system on only 12 days per month for an average 47 minutes each session. [/QUOTE] Full Story: gamasutra.com

Interesting... I didn't know all the game companies were going to keep the same console names for the next generation.

So how many are a part of what age groups? What is the division of console sales in this study compared to total sales?

I don't think I've played my Wii in 2008 yet.
