REPORT: Half of UK Wii Owners haven't played for Six Months

The survey covered 1,672 people aged 18 and over who took part in the poll. News Flash the Wii only sold 1,672 units in the UK! Wait a second......Konxumer

That's how surveys work. They take big enough sample of people, who represent the majority of the userbase. Of course there is always a margin of error, but it isn't big. If survey is done well, it gives quite accurate numbers.

I haven't played a legit Wii game on my Wii since SMG. I will get 2 when it drops in price, but otherwise it's a N64 player for me! :D

0% Percent Use. =/ My 360 is getting there and my PS3 most likely will be turned on a few times only. =( I have too many games to finish >.> on my PC and every time I turn on one of my consoles, I get bored Very fast. Esp. my 360.ShadowDeathX

does Ocarina of Time on virtual console count?

technically it is a N64 game but I am playing it on Wii.

Probably about 2 months since I have used mine. It only gets used for exclusives really.Marka1700

lol well that's all it really has.

I dont even like to look at mine for too long.

1,672 ppl is not half of the UK Wii owners. Misleading title TC

Now selecting more people will always get you a more accurate answer. But it probably isn't very far off the acutual number. If it was a real scientific study they would have error bars so it should read something along the lines of 50% with a standard deviation of 10 or so %. So it could be 40% of Wii owners don't use their Wii in the last 6 months, or 60% of Wii owners haven't used their Wii in the last 6 months.

Jumping on the bandwagon is awesome, isn't it??

I haven't touch my Wii in about a year.

REPORT: 99% of system wars users don't click the link before commenting:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Of those who had not used the Wii in the last six month:

41 percent: Didn't have the time

29 percent: The Novelty has worn off

22 percent: moved onto Kinect or PlayStation Move

----------------------------------------------------------------------

(emphasis mine)

So of those who say they don't use their Wii, nearly half don't have the time for it. I'm guessing those people don't have much time for any other consoles either. Presumably they have jobs.

You lot are acting like 50% of Wii owners have upgraded to Move/Kinect. But it says right there 22%, and that's out of the 48% who say they don't use the Wii anymore. In other words 147 out of 1672 people. Wow.

(EDIT: just realised that should be 48% out of the 1070 Wii owners, not the whole lot, so the maths is wrong. But you get the idea.)

I also suspect, given the poll was run by myvouchercodes, that most of the respondents were soccer mums. In what other demographic would you find 39% of people who still play Wii fit?

And this boys and girls, is why polls and statistics are useless for any meaningful argument.

I'm guessing you've never seen a PS3 in action?
