`who` vs `w` ?



when i try "w" it says '3 users' but only shows me.
% w
  9:03pm  up 105 days, 21:22,  3 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
will     pts/0    wdt               9:02pm  0.00s  0.37s  0.04s  w

when i try "who" it shows me, three times

% who
will     pts/0    Dec 29 21:02 (wdt)
will     pts/1    Dec 21 21:44 (wdt)
will     pts/2    Oct 12 14:54 (wdt)

but there's only one of me!

% ls -l /dev/pts
total 0
crw-------    1 will     tty      136,   0 Dec 29 21:04 0

what's up with this?
