Xbox Live continues to be game days... not actual "time"... but it still is a good average metric for those assumptions.

Most of the people in this website I'm sure are interested in that sort of game and would thus report I play it. For example, I don't report I play Smash Brawl for the Wii, even though I'm a fan of it. I report the MMOs I play. Then again, that's just me :).
