With 46% of all U.S. broadband homes having a video game console connected to the Internet, about 28% of them use the consumer electronics device as their primary connected devices, according to new research from Parks Associates.

Dallas-based Parks found that about 75% of broadband-connected homes use a gaming console to access non-gaming content online at least weekly, and nearly 40% access such content for more than 10 hours per week.

Notably, while the PlayStation 4 dominates sales of new-edition game consoles (e.g.. Xbox One), Parks found that both Nintendo Wii and Xbox consoles are in 35% of U.S. broadband households, while the PlayStation brand is in 27% of households, according to a survey of 10,000 U.S. broadband households.
