Nielsen Games, a division of the well known TV rating house, recently conducted a study to determine console brand usage in US homes. The two age groups queried were 10-26 year olds and above 26 years old. In the younger demographic, the Xbox360 held the top spot with a 63% share. The Wii garnered a 25% share, and the PS3 just a 12% share.

The play length of gaming sessions were also studied. The PS3 and 360 sessions lasted about 73 minutes, while the Wii sessions lasted about 50 minutes. Gamers played their 360 almost 28 days a month, their PS3 21 days a month, and their Wii 19.6 days a month.

For the older demographic, the PS3 took the top spot, with 52%. The next was the Xbox360 with just 20%. The Wii was even less. You can see the full info at the link, it is in interesting read.

Actually, this is incorrect.

PS3 ranked last. Nielson f'd up when they initially released the list and had to issue a correction.

This is the correction. I guess the PS3 really is just a movie player.
