PS2 Beats Out PS3, Wii, and Xbox360 for October 2008

Given the fact that there are so many Playstation 2 consoles out there, it isn't a huge surprise that the PS2 is beating out the other consoles in terms of usage.

Rank Console Usage Minutes %
1 PlayStation 2 30.2
2 Xbox 360 18.3
3 Wii 13.5
4 Xbox 9.1
5 PlayStation 3 7.7
6 GameCube 4.4
7 Other 16.9
Not just beating them, its usage stats are almost the same as adding those for the 360 and the Wii together. Not too shabby for a system that was released in 2000. Looking at the stats listed on Wikipedia, the PS2 had sold 140 million units through July '08.

We have a Wii and a PS2, but the Wii gets used a bit more than the PS2. I'll blame that one on the kids since most of their games are on the Wii. Personally, I don't feel that any of the Wii games are really using the Wii's control system to its utmost yet.
