So is 35% of gamers who will buy at launch a lot or not?


That kind of depends on how accurate the sampling was.  If the 35% is truly representative of the total Japanese gaming market, then, based on totals of last gen hardware, that's about 12 million sales at launch.  So obviously, a lot.

If the 1000 is just based on the home console market, then about 8 million in sales.  If the 1000 is based on current PS3 owners, then that's about 4 million launch sales.

However, random sampling was probably not utilized.  The survey was just issued and whoever filled it out filled it out (this is not random sampling).  The people who filled it out were most likely people who already had strong opinions on the PS4 one way or another and as readers of Famitsu were more serious gamers than the average gaming populace.  

So basically, it's like an internet poll and should be taken as seriously as you take most of those.
