Well I'm getting one.... But if that would mean that they expect around 30-40m sold in the first 18 months if 60% of PS3 users are going to get one in those first 18 months, but I assume I have misunderstood, as that just sounds silly |
the missing link is that answering a survey with "plan to buy" doesn't equate to actually paying $250 at launch. I "plan to buy" but i'm going to hold out a couple a months just to make sure the thing doesn't flop in which can my "plan to buy" becomes a "do not buy".
.. so i'll just make a guess: 63% of those who "plan to buy" in the first 18 months will not buy in the first 18 months...

Actually even those that say they are buying, if I remember correctly nearly only half actually do it, based on some presentation in my school. Assuming a correct consumer survey was collected, and not a biased sample one. The people say likely to buy, get reduced further.

Not to mention that 63% of the people who owned a PS3 on the survey said they were planning on buying one or pre-ordered one. We don't know how big the survey was, or if it was worldwide or in just one region. The article and topic title suggests that the 63% includes ALL PS3 owners, which I would think it clearly doesn't.
