Study: Xbox 360 is Most Played Online
Surprising no one, marketing research group NPD revealed that, according to a study, the Xbox 360 is “the console online gaming leader” in the United States. This study was conducted between January 6 and 26, 2009. Despite this, the PC remains “the most widely used platform for online gaming activities.”
This survey was carried out on “just over 20,000″ US residents. They found that the Xbox 360 accounted for 50% of consoles played online. Nintendo’s Wii made an improvement, coming in at 29%, a jump from last year’s 18%. PC users are a big bunch, as 87% of those surveyed used the platform to play games online. Surprisingly, that’s down from 90% in 2008. As for the PS3, it moved up from fifth place to third place.
The study also noted that microtransactions have slowed since last year, noting that PS3 and Xbox 360 users purchase more downloadable content than others.
