Funny, because apparently, on a population of 80M (Xbox 360 userbase), you only need a sample size of 385 to be within a 5% margin of error. The survey sample size in the OP is almost 2.5x larger than what's needed to be within a good MoE on the population of what the 360 is at.

I always love it when people see statistics they don't like then sarcastically say "they only surveyed X amount of people" as if you need some exorbitant amount of people to have an accurate statistic. Do you know that Gallup, the company that tracks presidential elections, "only" uses a sample size of about 2,800, which accounts for the opinions of the the little under 200M registered voters (actual voter turnout was 126M in 2012) and is at a 2% margin of error? Guess their numbers are bogus because they didn't survey 100,000 people, right?
