Researchers at Nielsen claim that Wii users who are 13 and older spend 33% of their time with the system streaming videos, compared to 20% who did so with the console last year. 55% of Wii owners time is spent playing games offline and 8% of the time is spent playing online.
How do they know that? O_O
Possible Nintendo Channel.
maybe a poll? i don’t know.
Why does everyone keep answering my rhetorical question? -.-‘
Well it’s the easiest way for me to watch Netflix on my screen. Still play a lot of games though.
I probably do spend that much time streaming.. :P Seeing as Skyward Sword and Kirby’s Return To DreamLand were the only games worth getting in 2011 for Wii.
…wut? I very rarely use my wii for that. Wii is for teh games. Puters are for videoh.
Doubt most of that comes from the UK. YouTube sucks on the Wii (I haven’t even seen if it still works, it was a hassle last time I checked.). The only other thing we have is the Nintendo Channel which I doubt is hardly used, and iPlayer.
Netflix, not youtube
Netflix… and guilty. however in my defense after i got full body frost bite i haven’t
been able to be in the cold longer then a half hour (17yrs of wintertime cabin fever.)
*reads about frostbite, instantly shifts to sympathy mode*
I actually spend more time streaming on Netflix than anything else.
I believe it. Most Wii users are casual and/or family systems. Gamers will use the Wii for games, but parents and old people will get bored of Wii Sports and use it for Netflix, seeing how it’s already connected to their tv’s.
true enough and being a hardcore gamer myself i was saddened by the turn out of the Wii. however i do appreciate what it did for the gaming industry as a whole. never before in history has the gaming world been taken this serious. for that i tip my hat at Nintendo.
Compared to ps3/360 users who use their systems as thus:
97% online gaming
1% Netflix
1% single player games
1% Internet (you know what they watching. I’m not saying it but it’s implied.)
where did you get your stats? O.o
Common sense, I believe.
Aka he pulled it out of his ass. But I agree for the most part
LMAO…..well all my friends on psn are either on netflix, vudu or call of duty…
Not me
I use my 360 for Netflix and honestly haven’t played a game on it for months. Too busy with 3DS and Wii.
I spent one oneth of my time playing games.
Hi, I have a blog about Nintendo news.
