Our sister blog Joystiq recently took it upon themselves to don the cap and tobacco pipe of one Sherlock Holmes, traversing the vast series of tubes that make up the internet to answer the most important question in the universe. And before we go any further, no you don't need a crazy super computer to provide us with the answer, which is not "42." After giving up their search, they found that a Japanese blogger had already done all of the work for them. Hooray for us!Analyzing results from four of the largest social sites on the internet, the overall compilation of numbers results in the Wii kicking the PS3's ass up and down each tiny tube that together form a vast assembly of tubes that form an even vaster internet. Yes, we have a hard time letting a joke die (we're all for joke life support).
