Maybe it's just me who is confused, but this doesn't sound much like a correction. The previous article stated that of those people who own a Wii, they play it less than than those people who own other consoles play theirs. In a situation where a player owns more than one console, it would be assumed that they give less time to the Wii than the others.

But that article must not have flattered Nintendo very much, and they put pressure on Nielson to "rephrase the data" in order to give them a more positive spin. (Not that Nintendo needs any more positive spin.)

So here it is: Of all people in the world, more people play Wii than everything else (except PS2). Gosh, gee... Could it be because there are something like twice as many Wiis in the wild as there are 360s and maybe triple the number of PS3s?

The original article--which was not contradicted by this article in anyway--only implied that Wii gamers don't play as many games as other console owners. I'd think that's probably a result of selling consoles to many "non-core gamers". Some of those Wii owners maybe only turn it on when their grandkids come over.
