Japan: PSP for Mars, DS Lite for Venus |
Ó
Wanting to get a gauge of handheld usage in Japan, Net Asia Co. Ltd conducted a small-scale survey among men and women between ages 15-29. Results point to a split between the Sony PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS in relation to gender.
Out of 401 responses from mobile phones, 42% of Japanese men preferred the PSP while 52.2% of women chose the Nintendo DS Lite. Here are the complete results:
Men:
- Sony PSP - 42%
- Nintendo DS Lite - 30.3%
- Nintendo DS - 16.8%
- Nintendo DS Lite - 52.2%
- Nintendo DS - 27.4%
- Sony PSP - 10%
Last 2006, a similar survey was conducted in Japan by the DIMSDRIVE Research group with a wider coverage of 7,508 people. During that time, the Nintendo DS Lite won the hearts of the Japanese.
So is Japan really a Nintendo country even if both companies are homegrown? It is worthy to note however that back in 2006, most preferred a Sony PlayStation 3 over the Nintendo Wii.

I mean always in Japan the stadistics! I cannot be Worldwide!?
SO Japaneses the only ones deserve to be famous..
lol!
Not true. Many men prefer psp over ds is because of homebrew and many other things. NDS is more popular for men over video games itself. What small-scale survey is telling us is not the truth. They are hide something. I dont believe anything like that anyway.
That's because a Japanese company made the survey.
Now go, make your own company, start a survey like this and stop complaining!
