New research from Nielsen shows that current generation consoles are being used for all forms of entertainment.
Beyond video, users of seventh-gen consoles are also unique in how they use their multi-functional systems. In 2012, Xbox 360 users spent the most time (33%) gaming online, while Wii users spent the highest share of time (40%) playing games offline. DVD/Blu-ray use in gaming consoles is declining, given the rise in VOD and streaming, but PS3 users were still the most likely to spend time watching DVDs/Blu-rays (18%).
This data comes from a survey of over 2,500 general population consumers (including game console users) in the U.S. conducted in October 2011 and October 2012.
