PlayStation users are the most connected console gamers in the US according to a recent study by The Diffusion Group.

The PlayStation 3 has the most amount of users with broadband connections at 78 percent, Xbox 360 gamers follow with 73 percent and Wii users trail with 54 percent.

Director of research Michael Greeson believed that such high levels of connectivity were could be accounted for by a demand for media video rather than gaming itself.

"Today's game consoles are increasingly connected to the internet, not just to enhance their gaming experience but to access the growing variety of online media-video," he said.
