While Sony may not have sold as many PS3 units as it wish it had it still has one reason to extend its middle finger to Microsoft. When it comes to console usage in the home, the PS2 comes top of the poll.

In a worldwide poll of gamers, the PS2 came top by quite a margin. The poll questioned the amount of gaming in minutes per console by each participant. Nearly 32% of respondents said that they play the PS2 more than any other console. The Xbox 360 came second at 17%, then the Wii and then the original Xbox. The PS3 comes in at a shocking 5th.

The poll also list the popularity of online games. World of Warcraft appeared head and shoulders above the competition with players averaging over 11 hours of play each week on average. Call of Duty 4 came next at 6 hours and then the field was pretty widely spread over a number of games.

It seems that the PS3 is lacking something its older brother, possesses, hopefully Sony will look into what it is.
