According to a report on the Dow Jones Newswire, a recent survey has "discovered" that Japanese gamers "care more about the games they want to play than price," as a poll of 3,422 gamers on kakaku.com claims that 49.2% say their primary concern in choosing a new console is that it be "compatible with the games they absolutely want to play."Here are some figures for those who like numbers.
- 43% wish to buy the most popular console
- 6.1% are mostly concerned about price
- 25% own a Wii
- 25% own a DS
- 10% own a PlayStation 3
- 10% own a PSP
- 3% own an Xbox 360
- 28% hope to buy a Wii next
- 27% hope to buy a PS3 next
I can only assume that 0% are interested in buying an Xbox 360 as their next console, as a figure wasn't given for Microsoft's unit. Maybe they're saving up for a DS or PSP in a new color?
Anybody surprised by this at all?
