The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 3 January, 2009
According to year-end figures provided by Nielsen, it appears that the Sony PlayStation 2 remains the most played video game console, by far. In fact, in terms of "overall usage minutes", the PS2 accounted for just under 32 percent of the total.
Following in the list was the Microsoft Xbox 360 at 17.2 percent and the Nintendo Wii at 13.4 percent. The PlayStation 3 improved to 7.3 percent ... [ read the full article ]

You should really rethink your definition of "better selection"...just because the 360 has been out for 1 year longer and does have "more" games does not make for a "better selection". Multiplats are on both and exclusives are actually EXCLUSIVE on the PS3 unlike the 360 where they are 99% of the time available on the PC. PLUS how 2008 Sony had the higher rated exclusives (with 2007 having some notables as well)
Quote:
2008 Top PS3 Exclusives:
1. LittleBigPlanet: 95%
2. MGS4: 94%
3. Resistance 2: 87%
4. Valkyria Chronicles: 86%
5. MLB 08: The Show: 85%
6. SingStar: 82%
7. Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds: 81%
8. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift: 81%
9. Buzz! Quiz TV: 80%
10. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: 80%
Average: 85.1%
2008 Top Xbox 360 Exclusives:
1. Gears of War 2: 93%
2. Left 4 Dead: 89%
3. Fable II: 89%
4. Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise: 82%
5. Tales of Vesperia: 81%

10. Wario Land: Shake It!: 77%
Average: 82.3%
Here are some additional sources & materials
2008 year of PS3
Who had the best exclusives in 2008
Now I have to admit that I don't like playing the #'s for reviews BS (especially when using Metacritic's biased crap) but it helps make a point my little clearer (even at the expense of it being generalized). Though in all honesty I don't play reviews...I play games. And one thing is for sure 2008 and looking forward to 2009 the PS3 is where it was/is at for the a variety of games (not just shooters). But that's just my opinion ;).

NES 62 Million
PS2 130+ Million and still selling
Though I have to say I can't choose the PS2 over an NES...that is honestly a REALLY tough choice. Absolutely WAAAAY to many diverse, genre defining, titles on both consoles to be able to choose one over the other! It is undoubtedly a fact that without the NES we wouldn't be where we are today when it comes to the imaginations of what those devs gave us that STILL continue today!

Yeah exactly, I didn't just mean the "units sold" numbers, the NES just means so much to lots of people and must be brought up in any conversation about the "greatness" of video games :D

NES wasn't great. It is great, it still is. it always will be the best gaming console around.
in 2056 i might be 62 dammit but you can bet your ass i will have a NES hooked up to my 10,000p nuclear fusion screen display, might have to buy a converter at RadioShed for that.

Well let's face it any time you can mod any game, you will have more players, just to see if that mod has in proofed the game, or there would not be mod chip Sean, mod chip are made so you can install mod not for pirating but for making new hack's making the better games and more of a playing experience.
After living in the states for well over 40years I have moved to South America and we sell Wii, Xbox 360, Sony Play Station 2, Sony Play Station 3, PSP, Nintendo DS, and so on, well the point is this in all the cases the customer 99% of the time asked for the game console to be moded. Why just because they could play NES games and just because they they all ready had a bunch of mod's in there house, for there games. We sell PC'S an the first thing people ask can play games, we give them a list of games {they say yes I know but I want the old games} and do you know, what they ask for 90% of the times, is for two things MAME and NES. And by far the portable consoles that I get most requested for are the GP2X,WIZ, for the same reason the old games, they are not as fast, they are not as pretty, but they are fun. And the hold thing is freedom to play what you want an how you want it, that is all that matters. we have a repair business any the most request repairs are for the old huge Sony Play Station 2 not because they are bad just for the simple reason that they all ready have hard drives, with the same thing they all ready have mod's for there games. Or why AD gave the code for Doom and Quake and how many mods where made after dose code engine where out in the market just look out there there is Quake and Doom in just a bought every devise in the market from PC's to Iphone it is one of the most ported games in the world, right next to NES games.

Are you actually going by Nielsen numbers for that statement? One thing is different from the other. I posted those #'s in reply to a specific person's comment about the selection of games...not at all in which you are talking about, but since you brought it up here are some exclusive sales #'s (before Decembers additional amounts) that would contribute in part to console sales....
MGS4 has sold 4.3+ Million
GT5P has sold 2.5+ Million
LBP has sold 1.5+ Million (launched in late Oct?)
R2 has sold 1+ Million (Launched in Nov.)
It's not about that "the ps3 is the best", as those are YOUR words (so please don't try and put words into my mouth). Anything I say about the PS3 being "good" is merely a PREFERENCE along with factual verifiable information for the sold numbers.
But I take it this all stems from you being sore about the temp banning you got for your inflammatory, baseless, false accusation & assumption's about me...or are you just trying for more?

MGS4? Are you blind or something? did you not see that game on the list?
That's like saying GoW2 sold no consoles at all :/
It amazes me how little thought you put into that statement :S

i understand what you are saying but when you are comparing the 2 hardcore gaming consoles but those games are not available on the opposing competitors console. Also dont know exact numbers but i would be willing to bet that 99%(maybe not exact but you get my point) of the time people choose to buy those games on the xbox360 rather than a PC and they would do the same if the game was available on PS3 and PC only. Sorry oner but i have said it before and i will continue to say that as each time you stress that comment about the games being availble on PC i think,"Who is this guy kidding NO ONE PLAYS PC GAMES. Unless there are some numbers that someone falsely made up to prove otherwise.

Hate to burst the bubble, but the main reason the PS2 still does well is because it's still supported. Had Sony killed off the PS2 in the way MS killed the original Xbox, I could see more people taking the leap.
For what it's worth, we could say that these PS2 players are in fact casual gamers, or play when they have free time. Most likely a Madden player, or someone that has a library of a few titles and doesn't feel the need to invest $400 in a new console.
Those that do want to invest, either replace their PS2 with a new one (rather than repair the broken system) or they jump to the cheaper next gen option, like the Wii (not hating, I have one.)
It's really not that surprising. PS2 has a large library of games, all of which are cheaper than the next gen offerings, and can be had for loads cheaper finding it used in GameStop or on eBay.

I still like my PS2..
I have 3 of them. Two V7 with hdd and a V14
The PS2 sold the most consoles in the shortest time ever, over 100 million in 5 yrs.
As of July/08 it was over 140 million
The PS3 is at 16.85 in a little over 2 years. Hard to say if it will ever do the same.
Yes the games are cheaper now, but of course because it will no longer be sold after this latest model SCPH-9000x series.
So funny after the PS3 is out that they even make a new PS2 model.
Sony makes money regardless.
I have newer consoles too, only because I can't get those games on the PS2, but still would rather play my PS2
All this topic is really about though is that it is the most played console.
If the PS2 was region free, it would have been better yet.
My consoles: Nintendo64>Dreamcast aug/99>PS2 V7-Seagate 400gb hdd-Maxtor 300gb hdd,PS2 V14 FMCB 1.8 - Memor32 >V18 SM 3.6 >DS-Lite-G6DS Real 16GB-R4DS Ultra 8gb SDHC>Gamecube-Original>Wii-Wiikey 2>PSP PHAT CFW 5.00 M33-6>DSi (Kingdom Hearts Edition)-EZ Flash Vi - M3i Zero Sakura>Kindom Hearts:Birth by Sleep PSP 3000>PS3 80GB. WiiU PS4 XBOXONE 3DSNDS |

Its not that people dont play PC games like he said but you do mislead with your statements in a negative way to reflect the 360 and put almost all things ps3 in a good light due to your liking of the ps3. im not saying ive never done it or wouldnt do it as well but im sure i was called out when i did if it wasnt factual. yes people play the PC version of games on the 360 that MS calls exclusive even though they are on PC but it is a minute number at that im sure. if not show me some figures saying otherwise.Games on the whole that are popular on consoles generally arent near as good on pc. Of course there are exceptions so im not saying people dont PC games cause i know they do. Oblivion,fallout, and some shooters out there im sure sell well on PC but assasins creed and sports games probaly dont see ne PT.I ncould go on and will come back to edit this cause im on the phone and losing train of thoght tbc...

@ Oner
No actually go ahead. Please bother to look up the numbers and post them. I am not going to say that i have myself has googled any numbers but as globe also said and i also stated, NO ONE PLAYS PC games. As I stated in my previous post that means that if a game is available for a video gaming console and the pc people are going to buy it for the gaming console. I am not saying people dont buy and play PC games at all just that it is a minute number when compared to the same game that is available on a console.

Thats what i meant to say but it took more words for me to say it and it didnt come out as concise^^^^.Its kind of like a Madden is for the 360...its damn near an exclusive when you see that it almost triples the sales on any other console. It ALMOST sold more copies for the 360 than the ps3,ps2,and wii combined. But at any rate what was your fav game for ps2 Oner and lxhotboy?? Mine was god of war, i never got the chance to play part 2 unfortunalty i had already had gotten rid of my ps2.

Only for how absolutely horrible the HARDWARE is. Outside of the occasional dislike for a game (say Forza as an example) that doesn't mean I think it is a "bad" game and doesn't deserve it's score or praise by gamers. Oh 1 additional area that people MIGHT get confused is where I would say I dislike the fact you have to PAY for LIVE! but I have NEVER said it "sucks" or is "bad" either. So people are SORELY mistaken about me.
Either way, with as much BS "doom & gloom" news you see about Sony (yet the numbers show something totally different) why is it so bad that 1 person (me) stands up for what they beleive? It sure seems like there are WAAAAAAY more people spewing ACTUAL misinformation than 1 person (me) trying to give PROPER factual, documented, sourced PROOF. I mean, imagine that huh? Proof over misinformation and I get crap for it?!?!
It's okay though, I like the challenge. When it's all said and done the "I told you so" will be that much sweeter ;)

You TOTALLY miss the point. If you have a PS3, Wii & PC with even a remotely decent video card you can play so called "exclusives" without the additional cost of a 360 (with all its hardware issues) & LIVE! (pay for online access ON TOP of paying for high speed online access!)...I am not going to bother with searching for numbers but will say this I guess people who play WOW, CS, Left 4 Dead, SPORE, Mass Effect and ANY number of other STEAM must be "nobody" (notice how the last 3 where "so called exclusives").
You can beleive what you want but what you are trying to say is absolutely ludicrous..."Nobody plays PC games". Amazing. Seriously.

i find the PS2 to be a very good system, the PS3 however is more like a (meh do i have too). its just not there yet.
SN Oner do you find it amusing how they try and compare things like the 360 to the PC, when its a thread about use of the PS2.

I think you still miss the point to a degree. What were the sales of left 4 dead and mass effect as to console to pc is what he's getting at. Its clear hes saying that they are far trumped by the console version of sales. Im not sure about the sales but we shall see if the debate continues.And its not that you get crap for giving correct information its that most of the information you give is always reftictying the ps3/sonys image and it need not be said the arrogant consumer giant that sony is doesnt exactly need help in that department.And last but not least you whiffed on my question about what is your favorite ps2 game...???

COMPREHENSION-----The capacity of the mind to perceive and understand; the power, act, or process of grasping with the intellect; perception; understanding; as, a comprehension of abstract principles.
I explained what was meant when i said "NOBODY PLAYS PC GAMES".
Either you dont understand what i meant or you just cant admit when you are wrong but i am not going to argue with you oner. If you want to believe that more copies of a multiplatform game are sold on a PC than on xbox360, or PS3 then that is you. I just believe it is commen sense and doesnot take a genius to figure that out that when we gamers walk into a store to purchase Madden 09 that there is a very minute percentage that will buy it for the PC.
As for "missing the point" no sir i understand what you are saying. My comprehension skills are very good as it is you that has missed the point when you ramble about what console you own and not paying for online service. You sir are that included in the minute number of people that i was referring to and if you cant understand that then this post was not even worth my time just as i am not going to google sales numbers of a particular pc game and then show that most of those particula games for a PC will be outsold easily if that same game is available for a video gaming console.

But at any rate what was your fav game for ps2 Oner and lxhotboy??

It happens, but in all fairness there was more than just 360 & PC being discussed in this thread. NES, Xbox, PS1, Wii, Gamecube etc. some as per the actual Nielsen ratings.

If you want to believe that more copies of a multiplatform game are sold on a PC than on xbox360, or PS3 then that is you. I just believe it is commen sense and doesnot take a genius to figure that out that when we gamers walk into a store to purchase Madden 09 that there is a very minute percentage that will buy it for the PC.
As for "missing the point" no sir i understand what you are saying. My comprehension skills are very good as it is you that has missed the point when you ramble about what console you own and not paying for online service. You sir are that included in the minute number of people that i was referring to and if you cant understand that then this post was not even worth my time just as i am not going to google sales numbers of a particular pc game and then show that most of those particula games for a PC will be outsold easily if that same game is available for a video gaming console.
Yes you explained your "point" but that doesn't make it true, though that is kind of a loaded comment as one thing of which we are BOTH not taking into account is PIRATED COPIES of which people scratch that GAMERS use (many 100's of thousands if not MILLIONS I might add). So my point (as well as the COMPREHENSION to "get the point" so to say) also seemed to be overlooked as well. But that doesn't matter I guess, as you want #'s of which don't actually matter in this case. The point is PEOPLE do use PC's for gaming contrary to whatever you may beleive or try to downplay.
So go right ahead and make your little quips, slighted insults & closed minded comments about me or certain FACTS that are actually true. So while I am the one getting singled out (by some, as usual) I will just re-iterate this

It's okay though, I like the challenge. When it's all said and done the "I told you so" will be that much sweeter ;)

1. Resident Evil (1,2 and 3)
2. God of War
3. Tomb Raider (all of them)
@ oner what are your favorite PS2 games?
There are alot but off the top of my head (for PS1 & 2 as lx has posted some from earlier models)
1) I have to agree with some of LX's like Resident Evil 1 & Tomb Raider 1
2) GT (all)
3) MGS 1 & 2
4) Virtua Tennis (PS2 & DC)
5) DEFINITELY Marvel vs Capcom 1 & 2 plus MANY Street Fighters
6) GTA 3, SA & VC
7) RIIIIDGE RAAAAACEEEEER's
8) Burnout (most are okay but 1 was my fav.)
9) Syphon Filter
10) Fear Effect
11) Mortal Kombat's 1-3
12) Crash Team Racing
13) Driver
14) Ape Escape
I can actually go on but for "Playstation" that's a few. There are MANY more for NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Xbox & 360, DC & PC but just a few like CS Source but ABSOLUTELY 100% 1.5 & 1.6, Aliens vs Predator 2 and one other game which for the life of me I am embarrassed to say I don't remember the name of!!! It was an FPS set in the future/sci fi where you could "ski" with a booster pack (that was like AVP2 where it had no recoil) it was mainly based around multiplayer capture the flag that they made a part 2 of but never really captured the essence of part 1's....it also had a mini gun/gatling gun.
OMG, this is gonna bug me all night I know it.

Now I'm not going to go down this road again.. I gave up grinding axes with trolls and fanboys... BUT.. it strikes me that there is a hell of a lot of propaganda, and half truth type troll posting about the ps3 being "the best".., and trying to wriggle out of being caught .. yet again.. with pants down being a biased sony fanboy XD

So did I.. In fact I thought it was an agreed point with staff that moderators would cease and desist from biased pro or anti posting in any of the news topics.
Originally posted by Oner:
But I take it this all stems from you being sore about the temp banning you got for your inflammatory, baseless, false accusation & assumption's about me...or are you just trying for more?
And also certain points made by members of staff concerning abuse of powers and positions. UNLESS you can point to a specific breach of a rule.. and be prepared to prove what that is.. and I will take this opportunity to remind you "not liking somebody" or "not agreeing with what they say" is NOT a valid reason to ban somebody.. then you are exceeding your powers and authority.. and riding roughshod over the rules.
Just because you might not "like" a post made by certain members.. that does not give you the right to ban them.. as you have repeatedly done to certain members with no justification other than to protect your precious sony from criticism. That is against the whole ethos of allowing an open discussion, and very close to a serious abuse of the site aims and objectives re - freedom of speech.
Now I suppose you think that pulling a moderator up for what appears to be abuse of position (again) and fro what certainly looks like a commercial interest type bias is worthy of a ban.. Show me which rule? If anything in the above post can be seen as personal abuse, rather than a statement of the situation as I see it regarding the matter then.. how and why is it abusive (under the terms of the rules)
Remember kids.. Moderators are members just like you.. they have to abide by the same rules you do XD or face the same penalties.. They are not gods (though some would like to think they are.. no names eh dave ;))
Now I'm off back to my lurking.. knowing I hit a few raw nerves.. Happy Yule XD
