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
Even though two-thirds of readers said they "wanted" to buy a Wii, only 57 percent said they were actually going to make the purchase:
Are you going to buy a Wii?
57%: Yes
33%: I’m thinking about it
10%: No
Perhaps the hottest topic outside of the Wii is the PS3's pricing, on which Dorimaga quizzed voters, with nearly 90 percent saying it was too much for a gaming system. A few pricing pessimists were actually relieved with the "cheaper than expected" pricing:
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.
Even more interesting on the PS3 pricing issue, nearly half of the readers said that even if it had good games at launch, the price wouldn't be justified:
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
Finally, Japanese expressed continuing apathy towards Microsoft's console, with just over 4 percent of readers saying they would by an Xbox 360. Kind of strange, however, that readers could select "Maybe" or "Thinking about buying" an Xbox 360 (what's the difference?). Adding those two categories up indicates that half of Gamaga's readers might buy one:
Will you buy an Xbox 360?
44.97%: No
33.14%: Maybe
17.75%: Thinking about it
4.14%: Yes
