Same. They give a general idea but nothing concrete. My main problem with it is everybody lies. That an a minority is used to represent a majority. An I mean a very small minority used to represent a very large majority. Just not right. |
This is why marketing and social science researcher did away with surveys long ago. Oh wait they didn't because they offer meaningful statistics.
Assuming a quality sample, those who lied about playing their 360 for 25 hours a day are offset by those who lied about playing their PS3 for 25 hours a day. With a large enough sample over a broad demographic, the staticial errors get reduced. As you've said, its to give a general idea, and the general idea seems to be that people play 360s and Wiis much more than they play PS3s.
Obviously it can't be that big a problem to you. You are on a site that collects its data in the exact same way.
