More interest in the PlayStation Vita than the Wii U

Might you buy the Wii U? graph of japanese statisticsjapan.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.

Contact lens shop satisfaction

Where did you last buy contact lenses? graph of japanese statisticsiShare recently performed a survey that might be of interest to my readers who are residents in Japan, looking at where Japanese buy their contact lenses.

Demographics

Between the 7th and 11th of July 2011 1,187 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. The sample was pre-screened to select people who had purchased contact lenses for themselves within the last year. 50.1% of the sample were female and respondents were aged between 16 and 60 years old, but no further demographic breakdown was given.

I used to wear contact lenses, but gave up after I lost one in Japan and didn’t really fancy going to all the bother of getting measured up for a replacement. I think I did previously replace my contact lenses in Japan, but the name of the shop escapes me completely!

Realising you’re an adult

goo Ranking’s silliness was looking at when Japanese feel that they are adults now.

Demographics

Over the 6th and 7th of June 2011 1,148 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.6% of the sample were male, 12.1% in their teens, 16.9% in their twenties, 28.0% in their thirties, 25.4% in their forties, 9.7% in their fifties, and 7.9% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

When I was a student, the most popular image was developing a taste for gin and tonic. I’ve never acquired it myself to this day… Quite frankly, I barely identify with any of the answers!
