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.'"

    to this department. I, personally, have never liked apples. I had a traumatic experience as a child with apples, when I was raped by a large black man. Who had apples. I am now considering suing Slashdot, as this story has caused me severe emotional trauma, from recalling my experience.

    Thing is they are counting the previous generation's consoles in these statistics which helps this study mean dick. Only console thats selling at a better pace than the PS2, at comparable points of their lifespan is the Wii, and it's anyone's guess how long that'll keep up till the Sony hype machine brainwashes people again.
