Some Wii news from 1up: It's been a couple years, but maybe you remember the ridiculous fake controversy that erupted on Fox News after the first Mass Effect was released, where they flagrantly misrepresented the game's sex scenes as being hardcore with full-frontal nudity. Well members of BioWare's forums remember, and one asked the developer point blank if fear of another controversy led them to tone down the sex scenes in Mass Effect 2. BioWare's answer: No. "It's kinda funny that this topic keeps coming up over and over ...

WiiNintendo posted: A recent report shows that video game sales have declined by 8% over the year of 2009 in the top global markets. While Japan only suffered a 2% decline, software sales in the United States dropped by 7% and are down by a staggering 14% in the United Kingdom. The report shows that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, as expected, was the top-selling game of 2009. Surprisingly, however, Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus (combined) came in a close second, only 800k units short of Warfare’s 12 million. Via USA Today. Go to Source ...

We imagine those six multicolored lines you see above are going to cause quite a stir among the various fanboy contingencies — they represent the percentage of “active users” on different consoles in the first half of 2009, according to survey data compiled by Nielsen. As you can see, the Xbox 360 dominated the charts, while the ubiquitously successful Wii came in dead last by a huge margin, ranking below the PS2, original Xbox and GameCube.

Our initial reaction to this data was that Nielsen is high on pot, but we can kinda understand what caused the Wii’s disappointing placement on the list — the chart is tracking the percent of console owners who use their gaming hardware on a regular basis. Everyone and their dog owns a Wii by this point, but very few actually play them consistently, according to Nielsen’s findings. Meanwhile, there’s only a handful of GameCubes out there that haven’t been converted into lunchboxes, and their owners apparently use them a bit more frequently.

If you’re looking for a more straightforward breakdown of console usage, Nielsen also figured the overall usage totals for each console. That chart’s posted after the jump. (You’ll find it slightly above the deluge of inflammatory comments.)
