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 polls used to predict election results are usually only 1000 to 2000 people.  Those do a very good job of predicting the results of the actual election, which is about 150 million voters for the US.  As long as the poll was conducted correctly, these results should be accurate.

I'd have to do more research into the poll to determine if it appears to be a representative sample.
