At first I thought that said "outsmurfs". Whew.

Yeah, I thought the same when I was typing; thus the warning. Must be a generational thing.

I wonder how many more Wiis there are in the world than iPhones... or why iPhone users, who have to sign up for a 'net account, don't go online. Or why Wii users have stopped using their computers to surf. etc.

Or why Wii users have stopped using their computers to surf. etc.

When I use my own Wii to go online, it's alwaysd for one because of one of three reasons: I want to view a page that for some reason I want to see on a TV (like showing Flash video to friends), I want to play a game that would benefit from the controller (again usually Flash), or for some reason my laptop just isn't handy at that moment.

I suspect most other owners use it for similar purposes, but there's a couple more possibilities. A Wii with Opera can be used as a kind of quasi-laptop if a TV's available, for even with cables and controllers it's easier to move around, and some Wii users may actually not own a computer. Unthinkable, I know....

What no PSP on that list? I think they didn't even count that or put it on their servey list. Thus I think they skewed the results and thus we skewed view of real habits. I personally use my PSP to surf the web four times a week.
