The latest issue of Otona Fami (Famitsu for adults, minus the hardcore gaming bit), a study's been published that gauges interest in the Wii and the PS3. A survey of 216 folks showed that 73.6 percent were interested in buying a Wii, 16.7 percent wanted a PS3 and 9.7 percent didn't want either and were content watching bad Japanese TV.
There shouldn't come as a surprise.
The interesting part were the surveys of female students and business women and housewives.
Half of the students could give a rat's ass about either the PS3 or the Wii. I blame studying, drinking and fornicating. However, 37.5 percent said they were interested in the PS3, compared to 12.5 percent that wanted a Wii.
Comparatively, 36.4 percent of business women want a Wii, while 33.3 percent are after the PS3. The rest didn't want either, focusing their energies on other diversions.
Housewives are either Wii-crazy or indifferent; 42.9 percent want a Wii, 9.5 percent hanker for a PS3 and the rest don't want either. This poll cements the Wii as the "Official Console of Japanese Housewives." Congrats, Nintendo!
This is utterly fascinating—a cross section of Japanese society as told through gaming consoles. I'd love to compare the results for men.
