Entertainment research firm Nielsen has released new console usage statistics, revealing the Wii as the console with the lowest percentage of active users. The Wii also has the shortest average playtime session, the lowest number of average daily play sessions and the second-lowest number of average days used per month.

The PlayStation 2 is the most-played console on the market, while active users who own a PS3 or an Xbox 360 play their console nearly twice as much as people who own a Wii play on one. The report notes that by the end of 2009 the PS2 won’t be the most played console.

The usage statistics aren’t entirely based on gaming though, with time spent using the consoles for non-gaming also recorded.
