PLAYSTATION3 IS DOING REALLY WELL!
…compared to the Gamecube and another console you haven’t been able to buy new for two years.
Well done, Sony. Another gold in the paralympics.

What are we trying to concentrate on reading right now?
Some people we might've MET. Or at least seen in a room and been near.
People off the internet. Quality and commitment levels may vary.
Sites we are happy to endorse without requiring Adwords spend.
Google says we have to have one, so here's one in dull text format
Some updates weren't universally hated by the entire world within seconds of being uploaded.
1. The Animal Crossing Wild World mega-feature and public-service review
2. Sonic CD - screenshot parade
3. Cream The Rabbit sexual diagrams
4. OutRun2 screenshot-taking guide for the benefit of inept journalists
5. The personal UKR SEGA Toys Homestar planetarium review
6. Trying to buy an Xbox 360 in London
7. (STILL) THE MOST AMAZING PROMOTIONAL PHOTOGRAPH OF ALL TIME
8. A trip to GamesMaster (in Peckham)
A sort of shop.
THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS ENDS

Console usage measured in minutes. What is that based on? One house that has all those consoles?
After playing LBP on the PS3 I know what a crap box it truly is but I can’t imagine it’s got so bad that kids would prefer to play the original xbox over the PS3.
Don’t the DS and PSP count as consoles? I would have thought DS usage would be well abouve PS2 usage. Not the PSP though, not unless they are allowed to count pirated minutes.
But, you can’t argue with statistics; infact 87% of all statistics are based on unarguable facts and/or hearsay.
January 6th, 2009 on 11:10 am
No no, 44% of all facts are made up.
January 6th, 2009 on 12:00 pm
The study was done in a broad selection of homes (so those that made it tell us). With a bigger user base of course the PS2 will be top as not everyone is as keen on having the latest games machine as you (if you are reading UKR you aren’t the average man are you, infact you may even be a bit of a games geek).
I’m sure that there was a study that showed the PSOne as the number 1 console of choice a few years into the second coming of the evil sony empire.
PSP and DS were not included in the research for some stupid reason.
100% of people that are me love the dreamcast
January 6th, 2009 on 12:03 pm
Yeah, clearly DS and PSP count as consoles and neither of them can beat the Gamecube at 4.6%. That makes sense.
Halo 2 was still the most played game on Xbox Live until Gears of War came out a year after launch according to MS’s own statistics. Kids might prefer the PS3 to the Xbox1 but I don’t know many kids with $400.

Re: the minutes thing, have you not yet realised that the latest generation of consoles knows EVERYTHING that you do? If you are online with your console then somebody somewhere is collating your information, from what game you play the most for the purposes of market research, and how long you play for in order to gauge the longevity of a game’s experience. The Wii even has the honesty to inform you each time you log on that it has been measuring the time you play, the little fucker. As for Wii fit? Well, if you own that then they know how much you weigh, whenever you lose weight, shit, they probably know your dietary habits. I am not just a paranoid freak, this is real! Well, probably anyway. Maybe I’ve just seen too many films about Communist spies.
Not saying that’s the basis for this chart of course but, you know, BEWARE and all that. 1984 is upon us etc etc.
January 6th, 2009 on 2:18 pm
this is lies. no one was playing their PS2 console for 30 minutes in 2008. literally, the entire of 2008.
January 6th, 2009 on 3:04 pm
Communist pies… mmmm
January 6th, 2009 on 3:05 pm
I played a PS2 for 2 hours in my gf’s house, waiting for her while she was away, probably doing something like cheating on me.
January 6th, 2009 on 3:22 pm
She was. It was the best 2 hours of sex she’d ever had. Try not to blow your wad after 30 seconds. My advise to you would be to masturbate as frequently as possible to build up a tollerance to shooting early. Use the articles on UK:R as stimulus.
January 6th, 2009 on 4:37 pm
Yeah, yeah, but what PS2 game were you playing?
January 6th, 2009 on 6:37 pm
Actually we were both on Singstar Legends. I was belting out ‘this charming man’ by The Smiths. She couldn’t sing her mouth was full.
January 6th, 2009 on 7:34 pm
Nielsen put little boxes in people’s houses that measure TV channel usage and console usage. They then sell that data to TV networks, etc. Hence no hand-helds… they aren’t connected to the TV.
January 6th, 2009 on 10:08 pm
The new “Sega Other” is off to a great start, should be ranked third.
January 6th, 2009 on 10:22 pm
Other must mean dreamcast…
so more people are playing dreamcast’s than PS3′s…
YAY
January 6th, 2009 on 11:15 pm
Not only is the site b’anal bullshit, Zorg also has something against people with disabilities!
You truly are the turd of turds. You wouldn’t win Gold at the Gary Cutlack Olympics.
January 6th, 2009 on 11:33 pm
16% of people are playing their Mega Drives. Hooray!
January 7th, 2009 on 12:07 am
and 0.2% are still dedicated to the 32X.
Do Sony still use the byline “this is living”? – if so I might need to send a letter to the Advertising Standards Agency. It’s misrepresentation. A more accurate tagline would be “PS3 : This is dying on its arse”
January 7th, 2009 on 7:27 am
What console is best if one has a broken arm?
January 7th, 2009 on 9:35 am
Consoles don’t have arms.
Thanks for your attention.
WV: twattybollocks – I couldn’t be bothered to work something out for the real one.
January 7th, 2009 on 11:11 am
“Consoles don’t have arms.”
Actually, consoles do have ARMs…
Though if it’s broken you’re screwed.
January 7th, 2009 on 12:04 pm
I wonder if Gaz Top is the same twatty cunt that used to present some kids TV show with that foam puppet alien Gilbert.
How did it feel Gaz to be working with a man under the table with his hand in a glove puppet that was more talented than you?
January 7th, 2009 on 12:31 pm
Phill,
You’ve just given me a great photoshop idea for that photo of the two Sony execs talking shit.
Now if only someone else can do the work for me…
January 7th, 2009 on 1:17 pm
The thing about the paralympics is that it’s the ones with a note from their doctors saying that they sometimes get headaches who win.
Sony couldn’t get a gold because the able-bodied-but-found-a-loophole companies would easily beat ‘em as they lurch along.

But Ricky Gervais does jokes about people in wheelchairs, and everyone says he’s funny.
January 7th, 2009 on 3:17 pm
Not to mention the Alzheimer’s jokes. Now, where did I put my computer..?
January 8th, 2009 on 1:15 pm
Ricky Gervais. Don’t get me started. It amazes me how rarely you hear anyone stating the opinion that he’s a cunt, even though he’s clearly a cunt. And really, too, he’s not an ironic cunt, just a cunt. Or a cunt cunt, if you will. Ooh he’s won awards though…
You got me started. Trying to stop now *concentrates*
January 8th, 2009 on 3:56 pm
Yay! Someone else has noticed that all the roles he plays aren’t actually roles; and he’s not a brilliant comedian playing an obnoxious twat – he IS an obnoxious twat and people just think it’s a comedy act!
Now, can anyone clear up whether Johnny Vegas is actually a harmless softy who likes the odd drunk or twelve, a potentially violent alcoholic, both (i.e. bipolar/schizophrenic) or neither and he’s just putting it all on?
January 13th, 2009 on 11:23 am
Good Luck! ;)
January 16th, 2009 on 9:07 pm
I am quite certain that the only possible reason for the PS3 to rank ahead of the Gamecube is that a large percentage of Gamecube owners have now upgraded to the Wii and use that to play the games.
January 22nd, 2009 on 6:13 am
PS2 doing well. Just as the Dreamcast would of, if it managed to avoid turning into a pile of dog poo.
