For movies/TV I almost always prefer subtitles to dubs no matter what the original language is with a few exceptions. Disney tends to do an excellent job with the Studio Ghibli stuff and I can enjoy those with the english or japanese voices, but those are an exception. Anything live action, ALWAYS subtitles.
For games it really depends on the quality of the voicework but in general I prefer to be taking in the graphics with games and not worrying about reading subs during cutscenes. Bad english dubs can definitely ruin the experience though and I'd prefer the original voices in those cases.
I do agree though that the mainstream won't care. Why do you think they still sell fullscreen movies FFS. Some people don't care that they're missing 1/3 of the movie, they just want it to fill their TV screen! Also, if anime fans all prefered subs to dubs then there wouldn't be dubbed versions included would there?
