Forums - Sony - 60% of prospective Move owners Nintendo converts?

The large number of people with reading comprehension problems that have posted in this topic is astounding.  So is the large number of people that don't seem to believe 60% of the people who want to own a Move also own a Wii.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

let's simplify... 3 people 1 owns a wii PS3, one owns a 360 PS3 and one only PS3.

then you have 2 that own a PS3 and a WII or a 360... but there is no margin to have someone that owns all 3.

to have the 78% owning one or both, you need more than 42% owning 360 and more than 36% owning Wiis.


The mistake you made is that "42% also own a Wii, 36% also own a 360" doesn't mean "42% own ONLY a Wii (and PS3)". If someone owns all three of consoles, she is counted in both 42% and 36% parts. That's exactly why 42 plus 36 == 78 (not coincidence) and where your math failed.

EDIT: This message above is non-sense. Disregard it.



I think this is a shot in the dark. Gaming is unpredictable.

:-X and in statistics you count people twice?

say your wii owners all have a 360 too and none have just the wii.

Then the statement becomes be 42% own a 360 (the wii owners plus 6%xbox only), 36% own a wii and 42% own one or both.

You're right. My bad. Now I can't even explain what I was thinking and replying to back then xD

p.s. I understand your "margin" point and fully concur it.

This maths exercise was nice :)

What's the topic again?



im one of these 60%, i have PS3 and Wii, thought the motion for Wii sucked (I have motion but since I beat RS2 its a paper weight now) bought Move thinking it would be a vast improvement. It is IMO.Doesnt mean that I hate my Wii or "it will collect dust" between 007 and new Sonic this would be the first time in 2 and a half years that my Wii playtime will start to match my PS3 playtime



it's possible it all depends on if you believe it, and if it happens; and for me to beleive it PS3 sells would have to pick up buy 30 to 60%.



Lol I'm one of these ppl.  I traded in my wii and all the games i had for it for 2 moves, 2 navis and another ps3.

As much as I would love that thought as a HUGE PlayStation fan, a monkey pulled this number out of his hat.
