PS2, World of Warcraft Top-Played Among Gamers in '07


Sleeper MMO Hit

Nielsen reports the top PC game title for April-November '07 is World of Warcraft by a long shot — with average minutes played per week logged at 1,023.

Free-to-play MMOG Runescape fell into third place. The game supports over 6 million users, according to Next-Gen.


The top video game console, in terms of usage for '07, was Sony's PS2, which takes up 42.2 percent of players' total time.

Next gen systems aren't yet being embraced, perhaps due to lack of a big game library. Xbox 360 took third place, and the Wii and Playstation 3 came in fifth and sixth, respectively.

More data on gaming trends is available at Nielsen.
