Japanese survey: kids prefer SNES, NES over PSP
Posted Sep 30, 2007 at 12:08AM EST by QJ Staff

There's an interesting survey conducted by small online research firm WhatJapanThinks regarding the preferred consoles by Japanese kids. The population consisted of around 1,165 elementary school students and the results are quite intriguing and interesting:
  • Japanese survey: kids prefer SNES, NES over PSP - Image 1 Nintendo DS 82.2%
  • Nintendo Gameboy Advance 39.8%
  • Sony PlayStation 1, 2 or 3 37.4%
  • Nintendo Wii 35.3%
  • Nintendo Gamecube 31.4%
  • Nintendo Gameboy, Gameboy Micro 19.8%
  • Nintendo 64 15.2%
  • Nintendo Super Famicom (SNES) 15.1%
  • Nintendo Famicom (NES) 11.9%
  • Sony PlayStation Portable 10.5%
  • Microsoft Xbox 5.8%
  • Sega Saturn 5.1%
  • Sega Dreamcast 4.8%
  • Other 16.4%
Take note that this survey is not reflective of the whole Japanese market and is just true on a certain market segment. Nonetheless, like we said, the results are quite interesting.

Yeah that is really interesting. I thought the psp had a bigger market.

And why prefer the (s)nes over the psp? They're called emulators :P

That comes to way over 100%, so this has to have been about what consoles the kids have. Their parents probably have a (S)NES in the attic and they added that in.



I want to know why the 360 isn't there at all, and the Playstations have been grouped together as one console.

"Sony PlayStation 1, 2 or 3 37.4%"

Why would you combine them all like that? It totally defeats the purpose.

Why no Sega Magedrive/Genesis? That was a huge console, what a bull***** chart.

# wtf? — mohaas05 2007-09-30 07:09
Ds and gameboy alone are over 100%. This survey is fake!

# Ugh? — god0fgod 2007-09-30 07:35
It doesn't add up to 100% so I can't trust it.

# well DUH — Jason L 2007-09-30 08:02
It's not marketed toward elementary school kids and kids that age can't afford it on their own. DUH. No wonder it scored so low. Doesn't take much to figure out why.

Multiple choice answers dont add up to 100% Einsteins.



These were the answers to "What kinds of video games machines do you often play on?"

lol the only reason i looked at this article was cause the main picture was of the good old red and white NES controllers! I use to have one of those as a child, great memories. Good old memories of blowing into the cartridge to make games magically work :D

# why its over 100% — pineanas 2007-09-30 10:37
Okay ppl quit flaming about 'its over 100% its bull*&&^'... This was a multiple answer test ( = you can check more than one answer in a question). This means that little jimmy, who counts as one person may give 3 answers. So... we will get 200 kids giving 500 (or whatever amount more than 200) answers, which gives us over 100%..... If you wish it to not exceed 100% in maths you standarise/normalize the results(somethi ng like an avarage..) nuf said

# This is not news... — Wicked_Insider 2007-09-30 12:28
We all know that NES would have come up as the

favorite because thats all the Japanese care about.



When they are born the doctor slaps them on the

ass and proclaims them to be Nintendo Fanboys

for life.



This is to be expected and is "NOT" news!

# JFC! — Wicked_Insider 2007-09-30 12:34
They are indoctrinated since birth to love only

Nintendo products. They have no opinion of their

own. It's simply Nintendo or nothing at all.



This is not fair news! of course all these kids

would have Nintendo stuff, all hand me downs

from their older siblings and or parents.



We here all know the truth and thats, that the

PSP kicks Nintendo's ass. What can Nintendo

do that the PSP can't do? NADA!
