世論 What Japan Thinks

japan.internet.com recently reported on the ninth regular survey by goo Research into consumer games machines.

Demographics

Over the 14th and 15th of July 2011 1,087 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.2% of the sample were male, 16.3% in their teens, 18.4% in their twenties, 21.4% in their thirties, 15.7% in their forties, and 28.2% aged fifty or older.

I’ve not really heard anything about the PlayStation Vita, but the Wii U looks interesting, although I probably won’t buy it myself.
