Nielsen , the purveyor of all things statistical and demographic, published a brand new study this week on game console usage in the US. In keeping with the report, released on Wednesday, gamers this year spent notably more time streaming video to their consoles than they did in 2010, due largely to the growing availability of services like Netflix, Hulu, MLB Network and ESPN3. Xbox 360 users spent 14 percent in their console time streaming video this year (compared with ten percent last year), PlayStation 3 owners devoted 15 percent (nine percent in 2010), and Nintendo Wii users spent a whopping 33 percent — a 13 percent increase over last year’s study. Each console, moreover, seems to entice different functions. Xbox 360 users, as an example, devoted 34 percent in their time to online gaming, Wii owners spent 55 percent in their console time on offline gaming, and the PS3 was the device of choice for DVD and Blu-Ray viewing, comprising 22 percent of usage. Overall, Nielsen found that usage increased by seven percent during the last year across all three platforms, which implies that streaming could be keeping us glued to our consoles for even longer.
