I get the impression that people answering "Better graphics" were lumped into "Better resolution". I mean if you check InFamous 2 vs InFamous: Second Son, the main draw isn't the better resolution, it's how fucking gorgeous that game looks.

If I am understanding this right roughly 90% of console owners this generation owned a console from last generation. So, 10% of current generation owners either never owned a console or skipped last generation. Some interesting data here, be curious what it looks like in a few years.

13 year olds AND OLDER

and fun factor is most likely talking about games.

How is wanting a more capable machine a useless reason?  Brand is also not useless, since if you like what a company has been delivering over the years, you tend to want to stay with them more.  Same goes for me with the PS brand.

I'll just copy my response to a good point made by kilter53 here:

This.  Same thing goes for resolution.  The one thing I would LOVE clarification on, what do people mean by Bluray player played a big part in their decision?  The XBO has a Bluray player, as well, so you could have a gaming Blu-ray player for $349, instead of $399.  But, more importantly, you can get a Bluray player for $50-$60, so it can't be that big of an influence on their decision.

At least this survey shows a correlation with current sales. It shows that ps4 has been the most succesful in attracting gamers from all side and that's a good thing if you want to sell a lot of consoles long term.

well, im pretty sure the wiiu owner lied... better for the kids my ass, they just wanted to play as cat peach . same shit grown man tell when they are asked why they watch my little pony.

Ah I must've overlooked the "older" part.

Ok, well you can interpret it how you want, but if we just take the lines themselves we get:

People bought a ps4 because it had the better graphics and power, a blu ray player, game library, and the family wanted it.

People bought wiiU because it's fun and better for kids at a good price/value, has backwards compatibility, and good exclusive games.

People bought x1 because it's xbox, has innovative features and faster processing, with great exclusive games and fun factor

So, it looks like people bought each all around because:
PS4: had something for the whole family
WiiU: fun games and was great for kids
x1: innovative console and fun games

I was disappointed in number one as well for the PS4. The Xbox One though, strikes me even more so. I thought that something else would take the top spot, like networking services, but brand caught me by surprise. Nintendo I had expected, as many of their titles focus solely on that more than the others do.

The survey is interesting; although the writer's a little bit confused, better graphics was meant wrt last gen.

Wow, nice break down of the numbers, thanks!
