For two freaking days I did some little research on the console gamer, hardcore gamer, PC gamer, casual gamer, and Kid gamer. I did this through percents, before I continue, I would like to tell everyone this: Once you read this reply to it, nothing silly, just reply with your thoughts on this. It took me two days to get this information from sources. If I do not get enough replies or intelligent ones, I will stop doing these fantastic searches and do my great work somewhere else.
The source for my information were, Mike of Wal-Mart: he gave me some polls he did outside of the videogame section, Techtv.com, The Screen Savers, EBWorld of Little Rock, Style in The Arkansas Democrate Gazette, and Gamespot polls.
Here are the results:
Of the PC gamer:
X-Box got 79%
PS2 got 29%
Gamecube got 2.3%
Sony shoud jump in the air after they see this poll from the PC Gamer because this is great. Not too many PC Gamers would go after a console or the PS2, because they prefer PC Games, and they like Microsoft, but Sony has started to market toward the PC Gamer directly, because they have captured lots of PC developers from the pass year, that\'s why I think the number is so high. Because the PS2 is a computer entertainment system, which attracts PC Gamers, Hardcore gamers, casual gamer, and a kid gamer alike. Nintendo needs to work a little bit more in this market.
Of the Console gamer:
PS2 got 81%
Gamecube got 55%
X-Box got 19%
That is a good number for X-Box, the conosle hasn\'t anything specific but it still got a good percent, just think what will happen when it is final and more people know about it. I guess console gamers have finally bought MS preaching about not only concentrating on the PC gamer, but the console gamer as well. Sony/Nintendo are in dead heat on this one. I expect Sony to keep a good hand on the console gamer though.
The Big Prize
The Casual Gamer:
PS2 got 73%
Gamecube 59%
Microsoft, I can\'t believe but 25%that\'s a good number, the console isn\'t finish yet, I guess those ads in stores are kicking in. They cut Sony\'s number a little bit, I expect Sony to be in the sixties or fifties once it is release.
The Semi Prize
Hardcore Gamer- Will play anything.
PS2 got 55.5%
Gamecube got 41%
Microsoft got 39%
This is too close to call, while I was researching this, I was even shocked, Nintendo should be the worried one.
The Meni-Prize
Kid Gamer:
PS2 got 2.3%
Gamecube got 97%
Microsoft got 1.4%
No comment.
We are in dead heat, the result, there will be no winner in this next generation, Microsoft knows it, Nintendo knows it, and Sony knows it. When X-Box and Gamecube are released these numbees will change but not by much, they can only go down or up. This war cannot be won by a wide percent either "FACT". Because Sony is marketing toward every gamer, so is Microsoft, and Nintendo alike. PC developers are developing for Consoles, and vis-versa. Times have really changed.
Here are my predictions, for what percent the market will hold:
PS2 - 59.2%
Gamecube - 48.2%
X-Box - 57.3%
It will be too close to call
OR
PS2 - 56.3%
Gamecube - 50%
X-Box - 57.8%
Still to close to call
OR
PS2 - 57.3%
Gamecube - 58%
X-Box - 57.1%
Too close to call.
There will be no winner because each will not make any mistakes. E3 want decide the winner, nor will almighty Square.
Whatever system you get, all of them will have something unique.
Thanks for reading.
