You're too kind. Like any other poll with such a small a sample size, this is meaningless.

2,000 is a sufficient number to get results that are representative of reality. What's much more important than the number of people surveyed is the methodology.

If the sample is representative, then 2,000 people is a perfectly fine sample size. 

I'm not very learned on the topic of surveys in general, and likely assume too much.  However, some of these stats look suspect to me. I'm quite sure that singles in the U.S. outnumber married/common-law couples, yet according to this survey, XB1 owners are almost five times more likely to be married than single. Also, I highly doubt that 0% is representative of reality when it comes to XB1 owners living on campus. Then there's the 42% female player stat. That one really sticks out.
