More gamers choose PS3 over Wii for internet browsing

More people are using the online capabilities of the PS3 over the Wii to browse the internet according to statistics from Market Share. The PS3 is ahead with 0.04%, but both browsers control only a tiny portion of the internet market. The PC leads all platforms with a 88.7% majority.

It comes at a surprise that the Wii Internet Channel is used sparingly considering that the install base for the system is at around 44 million, quite a great deal more than the PS3. At the same time, the data from Market Share makes perfect sense if you take into account that the Wii browser does not readily receive updates and lacks crucial features such as the latest version of the Adobe Flash player.
