Blu-Ray is very much global , it sits on the shelves of retailers in pretty much every major economy in the world. A Sample size of 1000 people is pathetic , My college would be a bigger sample and that would still be neglible.

Yes, that is a really small survery size. I kinda skimmed over it.

Not really. It's actually pretty standard sized.

 

With only 5 or so million PS3s sold in America, and a population well over 300 million, a size of 1000 people is not too conclusive.

The number is fine, and there is a reason they don't go higher.

If would be impossible to get every American to say why they don't have a Blu-Ray player, but that would be impossible. Instead, you chose a small sample of the population. If you get a good number of people of different ethichs and gender and from across the board, then you've got a good survey. If there are too many people, then you'll just be getting the same results with more work.
