Some People Use The PS3 For Web Browsing, Less People Use The Wii

Business Research firm Market Share have released statistics outlining global internet browser share. Internet Explorer and Firefox are obviously the two largest, but what about the PlayStation consoles and Wii?


Surprisingly, enough “PlayStation” owners (guess they’re counting both the PS3 and PSP) use their system’s browsers to make a dent in the global rankings, with a whopping 0.04% of the world’s internet traffic hitting Sony consoles. Sounds minuscule – and relatively, next to IE, it is – but that’s still a large number considering the size of the PS3 and PSP install bases compared to office computers.

As for the Wii, it doesn’t show in the publicly-released rankings, though Edge say it finished the year with a 0.01% market share.
