Nielsen has released its numbers regarding numerous top ten lists for 2008 and the Xbox 360 is found in a very solid position. The Playstation 2 took the top position on the list with 31.7% when it comes to game console usage minutes, but the Xbox 360 is the number one next-generation console, followed closely by the Nintendo Wii. It’s interesting to look at the Playstation 3, which couldn’t beat out the original Xbox.
