More that two-fifths of television households have a video game console, up an amazing 18.5 percent in the last two years, according to a new study by Nielsen. “The videogame console has become a major player in the battle for the living room,” said Jeff Herrmann, VP of Nielsen Wireless and Interactive Services. No doubt. Two-thirds of all men in TV households between ages 18-34 have access to a video game console in their homes. On a personal level, I watch significantly less TV now that I own an Xbox, although I can also download and watch on-demand TV via the Xbox 360’s marketplace.
