Famitsu’s post-TGS ’06 survey results
It’s been a month since the conclusion of this year’s Tokyo Game Show and Famitsu magazine’s released the survey results they took on-site during the celebrations. The survey had around 4,000 attendees, with 2,500 to 3,000 answering all the survey questions. The survey covered some of the more pressing issue of the TGS, such as which console they felt were gonna choose as the next-gen console. Here were the results:
- PS3 – 58.3%
- Wii – 33.8%
- Xbox 360 – 7.9%
These aren’t official statements, mind you, just the added up opinions of the dudes over at Japan, courtesy of Famitsu.
Other survey questions involved the next-gen consoles’ pricing, two PS3 models, Wiimote, purchasing plans, and the most expected titles.
