maybe playstation 2 and 3 places are mixed up?

combine high price and lack of killer apps, and it's no surprise the ps3 is near the bottom.



the xbox was an awesome system, i still use mine :)



if m$ would of continued to produce the xbox, i'm fairly confident it would of ranked higher than the wii... maybe even the 360.



the budget market should not be marginalized, it's the biggest one.

I though the lack of games was over with. What makes you think that the PS3 doesn't have any killer apps?

I mean, its no wonder people prefer playing the ps2 over any other consoles when there's over 20 amazing game titles to play, compared to the less than 5 from the ps3, 360, and wii... As a matter of fact I own a ps3 and ps2 and I can say I play my ps2 around 5 times as much, (I play my ps3 probably 1 hour a week, and yes I have mgs4, cod4, fallout 3, gta4, and they lose the replay value fast). I mean lets be honest, has there ever been any game consoles that has had so many great games as the ps2? maybe the best were of the n64 era but its still obvious the ps2 has the biggest amount of A+ titles and titles that actually envelop you in them for you to play for some hours.



In my opinion both chart seems pretty reasonable, though I'm a bit dubious of Counter Strike Source ranking below the first, team fortress, and runescape in the percent of gamers playing it average per minute.

My wife wanted a new PSTwo for Christmas to replace the fatty that died a few months ago, so that's what she got.



Swap Magic FTW!!!!

use your swap magic to install freemcboot, much better, and esr to go with it so you can boot burned games without swapping discs!

just because there is a lack doesn't mean none exist...



the ones that do exist are too narrow in scope, MGS4... great game, but the appeal isn't there to the majority of non-gamers.



LBP is a great step in the right direction, however i still don't feel it justifies $400 for the system to play it on... and obviously alot of people agree.



the ps3 is no longer the cheapest blu-ray player either...

It's not facts but supposition. I mean, if they asked people on a website for this info for exemple, only those could answer, and only those who answered were conted, not those who didn't, etc. It's not a way to know those things. The ONLY option I know is simply to check the sales of games. The system the sells more is the one that is the most used by most people, dah. Even if some always play the same game again and again, we only need a general idea anyway, not a perfect number. And I'd say the PS2 is more used too, lol, but for different reasons.



1st: They sold like 150-200 000 000 copies, so A LOT of people have that console.



2nd: They are still selling PS2 titles so a lot of people are still not on the current gen systems.



Finally, we CANNOT say that people use more their PS2 than their PS3/X360 since we don't know if they have al 3 consoles... We can only say, with those fake numbers, that the ps2 sold more... lol. I mean, if 200M ps2 were sold, and only 40M ps3/x360 sold total, then 160M people only have a ps2 (excluding to simplicity the other consoles like the wii, GC, portable consoles, etc) and than can only play that, so DAH the ps2 is played more, but this means nothing!!!!! Stupid Qj



For WoW, I can't say what people like in the game. I tryed for a month, loved at 1st, then saw how repetitive this game is, and stopped playing loosing my time.

if i want to play PS2 games, i'll just put them in my PS3 and play them.

what does the x360 have that the PS3 doesnt? dont come up with anything stupid like xbl, cuz we got psn.

The whole thing is bull*****. More gamers play Halo ONE than Counter-Strike? hello? Same with Runescape, a game 've never heard from. Netx time at least try a bit to sound logic....

Very nice but ya Sony needs to drop the PS3's price way freaking down their not doing too good in sales during these times of Crisis.

Runescape is one of the most popular online rpgs on the face of this earth. Why? because its free!!



And if you notice, its halo 1 for the PC not xbox. Halo for pc has a huge modding and online community backing it up, yes bigger now than counter-strike, especially since counter-strike gameplay has now been replaced with cod4 and is considered old news. Plus you forget all the fanboys behind halo.

Put the blame on maine.
