Nielsen Pegs PS2 as America's Top Console

Nielsen Pegs PS2 as America's Top Console

None

The Nielsen Media Research company released a PDF of their top 10 lists of media leaders.

According to their research, the PS2 is still the United States’ most played video game console with a 31.7% share of accumulated game time. The 360 is in second with a 17.2% share.

Alarmingly, the original Xbox actually gets more play time than the PS3. The massive black box (I’m referring to the original Xbox) has a 9.7% share as opposed to the PS3’s 7.3%.

However, these Nielsen results seem to be somewhat suspect, as the top PC games played simply can’t be right. There’s no way Halo: Combat Evolved is still ranked #3.
