Gamaga = A Japanese multi-platform magazine.

Which of the 3 next generation consoles do you want to buy?

65.09%: Wii
19.53%: PS3
13.61%: Xbox 360 (including import)
1.78%: None

Are you going to buy a Wii?

57%: Yes
33%: I’m thinking about it
10%: No

Is the 62,790 yen price tag for the basic version of the PS3 expensive?

87.57%: This is not a price for a game console.
10.06%: It is not surprising when you look at the features.
2.37%: It is actually less expensive than I feared.

Should the PS3 have great games for the launch, would this push to buy the console even if it is expensive?

46.75%: No
37.87%: I need time to think
15.38%: Yes

Will you buy an Xbox 360?

44.97%: No
33.14%: Maybe
17.75%: Thinking about it
4.14%: Yes

What can i say? Nintendo has got Japanese gamers in their grasps, and if Nintendo is still trying to aim the non-gaming audience, the whole of Japan will be a safe haven for Nintendophiles! And i'll be there as well ;)
