I'm just reposting what I wrote in the identical thread.
"I don't think people are putting this in perspective. 45% of the general public in Japan (not gamers, the general public) know about a console that is not releasing till next year. That is insanely high. This will often not even break into two digit numbers if you are just polling the general public about consoles."

How can people miss this? And that's before any ad campaing started. Unless this isn't the general public, but even then.

"Respondents showed similar ignorance of The PlayStation 3's recently added stereoscopic 3D game offerings, with 57.8 percent saying they didn't know about the option."
that right there makes me think that either you guys are underestimating the gaming knowledge of the general public in Japan or this isn't the general public being surveyed. If almost 45% of those surveyed knew about a new feature on the PS3 I don't think it's that amazing that 45% knew about the 3DS.

Yeah, either Japan is really well informed (which makes sense, but this much?) or this shouldn't be very representative of the general public.
Still, 3DS (as far as I know, might be wrong) had very little to no push gearead towards the general public as of yet, so it might make sense that it gets a similar percentage as PS3's 3D. Still, my bet would be it's not that representative of general public, and that it's hard to try to predict anything about 3DS's performance fro mthis.
