Nielson Results Reveal Consoles on the Rise

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hard-not-to-like-those-apples dept.

eldavojohn writes "Nielson ratings are in and the results are that gaming is continuing its steady trend upward. A study released Monday entitled 'The State of the Console,' describes America as an increasingly game-centric country. 'Nielsen Media Research found that 41.1 percent of households with televisions in the U.S. now have gaming consoles. That number represents an 18.5 percent increase since 2004, according the research firm, who used a sample of 12,000 TV-viewing households for its report.'"

    Err...they're counting console users, not console sales. So they should be counting Atari 2600s right along with PS3s.

    This is a survey about how many people are *playing* games, not buying them.
