Those stats are horrid. But as someone else pointed out, it was with less that 1000 gamers surveyed, so yeh.

As I explained to LudicrousSpeed, 927 is more than adequate for an accurate survey. Population of 80M only needs 385 responses to be within 5% margin of error. Gallup "only" uses 2800 responses to gauge the opinions of 200M people and they're within 2% margin of error.

Awesome, thanks for clarifying.  41% of 360 said yes to this... thats incredible.  So, even before any more price cuts, 41% of  360 owners will buy the ONE.  Thats huge.  Amazing.

Seriously.  You did notice it said "are you MORE likely to buy at this price"  what was the percentage before?  For all we know it was 50% were likely to buy already, so a 21% increase takes us to 60%.  The survey is bogus, the question weak and the results flawed as a result.

Sample size is irrelevant if the question is a badly worded one.

Thanks.

First off, that's not what I was responding to. He called the survey into question because they surveyed less than 1000 people and I showed that 927 is a more than adequate enough sample size.

Secondly, the wording is fine. It's not asking you "are you likely to buy a XBone?", it's asking "are you more likely to buy at this price?". Only 21% said yes, meaning the price cut is only having a small effect. It's not saying that XBone will drop down to 21% marketshare. It doesnt say that 41% of 360 owners will buy an XBone. It's saying that the price cut isn't that big a deal. It's not that hard to understand.

Just like I said, don't like the statistics, so you attack the survey
