When Ziff Davis Media (you know, the people who own 1UP) plopped the results from their annual Digital Gaming in America study in my lap, hours upon late night hours were spent sorting out statistics and slides, and we came away with a slew of interesting bits about gamer's attitudes towards next-generation.
Before we move on, the basics. This blind study was conducted by the Strategy Group using natural selection via telephone, projected to the entire US and took place from May to July of this year. 1,558 total surveys were collected during this three month span. Also, some of the percentages may not add up to 100% because we're excluding staistics from handhelds, PCs, etc. and focusing on next-generation.

Now, onto what matters! 37% are considering purchasing a PlayStation 3 over the next 12 months, with Xbox 360 close behind with 34% and Revolution trailing at 14%. That's a surprising jump for Microsoft, considering the study found only 30% owned an Xbox compared to 51% with a PlayStation 2. If this study's an indication, they've made some serious ground in the minds of gamers this past generation.

That's not all, though. The study also broke down what genres people are most looking forward two on the next-generation platforms, with racing fans looking leaning to the PlayStation 3, action and first-person-shooter fans keeping an eye on Xbox 360, and - unsurprisingly - strategy, puzzle, party and platform fans holding out for Revolution. Also, apparently Revolution anticipators aren't looking forward to flight simulations. Shock!


37% [of gamers] are considering a PS3 ... Xbox 360 close behind with 34% and Revolution trailing at 14%.

What's far less surprising are the answers to what gamers believe each of the platforms individually excel at. Despite the impressive PlayStation 3 technical demonstrations (pre-rendered or not), gamers still see Xbox 360 as having the best graphics - maybe a holdover from last generation? Xbox 360 is also seen as likely having the best online play, while there's absolutely no expectation for Revolution and PlayStation 3 falls several notches below Microsoft's efforts.

What's it all mean? It basically confirms what we've all been speculating: when it comes to the United States, Microsoft's managed (likely mostly thanks to Halo) to erode a signicant portion of Sony's mindshare amongst the gaming community, and as long as Microsoft doesn't botch Xbox 360's launch, they'll be able to carry that momentum throughout the holidays and beyond.

Revolution, however, remains a huge question mark, and we won't know what influence that may or may not have until we know more. C'mon, Nintendo!

Sounds good to me, i can see how people would think that, when u consider the xbox to the PS2. But then again i think that to

We're gathering speed, the blind are seeing the light! I bet the distance will narrow even more once we hit mid October.

Although I will say that this is definitely more exciting than the political races.

Nice article Shawn, can I call u Shawn, ………Shawn?

Any ways, this article is giving me hope, it shows that most of the population isn’t ignorant, most people are looking at the hard evidenced, and are seeing that the X360 is more powerful, even after the CG movies,

This shows that people are converting to the light, soon when their ready they will be able to us the force: and fight the dark side, J/K

Just kiddy man, good article
