March 13, 2007 - Today Nielsen/NetRatings released its most recent market research, which finds Nintendo.com enjoying the most traffic growth on the Internet among the three console manufacturers. Compared to traffic in February 2006, Nintendo's site saw an increase of 91% in February 2007, with 1.6 million unique visitors.

Although it came in second-place, Xbox.com also saw a year-over-year growth of 47%, from 827,000 uniques in February 2006 to 1.2 million in February 2007. PlayStation.com was the only site to see a drop in traffic, falling 8% from 1.1 million in February 2006 to one million in February 2007.

The data compares only the three first-party console sites and does not include independent media sites. Here at IGN we have also seen a significant rise in Wii traffic, although our Xbox 360 channel still sees the most traffic.

The report also contains some interesting demographic information about console owners. According to Nielsen's findings, we are mostly married with children, our favorite online retailer is Best Buy, and we just love going to theme parks. Get out of our heads, Nielsen!

Web traffic represents public interest in the product.

Not entirely so,it depends with the said website,retailer websites would be a much better comparison...
If it was a website like say Amazon.com which said that their Wii page has been getting alot of traffic,then that would be right.

Just a thought.....

Maybe it's not the system, but could it just be that Sony's website sucks? While Nintendo is doing better job at making their websites?

Who cares?  It's probably people complaining about the Wii's crappy on line service.

It doesn't really represents anything.  You ever been on Xbox.com?  Its filled with silver members bashing the 360.  Nintendo.com is filling with trolls too.  Playstation.com has very strict mods so its a little different, if you mention Wii or Xbox 360 your topic gets closed.

Compared to traffic in February 2006, Nintendo's site saw an increase of 91% in February 2007, with 1.6 million unique visitors.

Although it came in second-place, Xbox.com also saw a year-over-year growth of 47%, from 827,000 uniques in February 2006 to 1.2 million in February 2007. PlayStation.com was the only site to see a drop in traffic, falling 8% from 1.1 million in February 2006 to one million in February 2007.

The data compares only the three first-party console sites and does not include independent media sites. Here at IGN we have also seen a significant rise in Wii traffic, although our Xbox 360 channel still sees the most traffic.

The report also contains some interesting demographic information about console owners. According to Nielsen's findings, we are mostly married with children, our favorite online retailer is Best Buy, and we just love going to theme parks. Get out of our heads, Nielsen!

Even though websites aren't really a reliable indicator of console popularity, it is evident that Sony has been rejected by many former fans.
