Ps3, its probably the best console with the most varied games of the 7th generation, but it was missing something that I love dearly which is Nintendo games... So, as with every home console gen, I always buy Nintendo first followed by Sony cause to me, I enjoy Nintendo games far more than games on competitive consoles cause the main benefit of the other consoles is third party which I have my gaming PC for

Sony, of course, has games such as FF and Jrpgs that you cannot get on Nintendo platform which is why I get them secondly

I agree about the PS3 thing, even though I never even owned a PS3 (but I'm planning to get one eventually).



Current consoles: Wii U, Gaming PC

Playstation 3 (not counting 3DS).

Xbox 360 with Kinect (didn't use it all that much to be honest), before that I bought a PS3 (it was my main gaming platform from I'd say 2010 to 2012).

PS3 ?

Yeah, PS3 ~2009

A bit of an unfair question. There was no other way than to buy the WiiU first because it released first. So of course a real gamer bought the WiiU before the PS4. You should ask what single console owners bought before WiiU. Most probably we are at least 90% Wii then.

Coming from me, it's obvious the Nintendo Wii.

Well, when I finally purchase a Wii U in late May or early June, due to Mario Kart 8 being released, the last console I would have purchased before the Wii U is the PS3. I'm super excited to buy the Wii U.

^^^ I'm lost at what you are saying.  ^^^

The OP is trying to figure out if his friend's assumption, that 80% Wii U owners are people who went directly from Wii to Wii U, is true. Bearing that in mind, his question is perfect to gather the information he needs.

No. The thesis is that 80% of people who own a WiiU also owned a Wii, not which next gen console you bought first.

 The way he asked the question excludes everyone who bought a different console between the purchase of the Wii and the WiiU.

He should've instead just asked how many of the WiiU owners also own a Wii.
