The report also concluded that 32 percent of gamers own a Wii console, and 14 percent of those also own A PS3 and 26 percent an Xbox 360.
On the flip side, 360 gamers make up 20 percent of gamers, 42 percent of which own a Wii but only 18 percent own a PS3.

It’s a joystick, they were all the rage in the 80′s.
Anyhoo, considering their sample size is a fraction of a percent of all gamers gotta take results like this with a pinch of salt.

That’s because you can’t see where she’s put the other joystick.
