The results fit well with the demographics, however. The Wii has the most people in the non-gamer category, so that would likely lower the average playtime. The 360 is more towards the hardcore, but they are trying to broaden the audience which may be responsible for the significantly lower playtime then the PS3(less hardcore gamers). Lastly, you have to be a pretty damn hardcore gamer to spend $600 on a PS3.
Anyway, I wonder if this takes into account the PS3 users that have Folding@Home running on their PS3 all the time.
I stated that I'm pretty sure the millions of games logged in between the Halo beta, Gears of War and Halo 2 prove otherwise.
Grow up, finalblade.
To begin with, this site, ps3fanboy.com, obviously an unbiased site, left out the vast majority of the information gathered by this group, because this fact seems to be positive for PS3. If you read the remainder of the servey, here, or in other articles around GameGrep, you see that the PS3 does have the longest play periods, but also less play periods a day and less players than any of the other consoles out, this or last gen.
Also I don't trust Nielson. They have a very small percent of gamers in those tests. I have played the nintendo wii for 100+ hours since having it since Febuary and I still have fun. My friend with a 360 and ps3 play reguarly to so I would say it would be closer.
