"Game survey taken in USA, Xbox is Fave"

Taken from www.officialxboxmagazine.co.uk: -

"The results of the largest survey of gamers this year has revealed that Xbox is the top console of choice this Christmas.

Over 12,000 US gamers were asked, "What console do you plan to buy in the coming year?" and 39 percent answered Xbox! 27 percent answered PlayStation 2, and 17 percent plan to pick up a GameCube.

The study also showed that game demos are the most influence over game purchase decisions. When asked "Which of these items highly influence your game purchase decisions?" nearly 8 out of 10 respondents (78%) ranked game demos the number 1 factor, far ahead of the number 2 response: game reviews (47%). Both television commercials (35%) and magazine ads (31%) trailed furthest behind as drivers."

Not bad eh?

I don't know any links to it. I saw it a few times while I was in the U.S.

AGAIN! Someone give me a link!

It really is a shame that NOA do things like that, completely unaware that they're helping Nintendo's undeserved childish image.

Theres a lot of kids in the U.S. :-)
Still scarred with memories of that advert - looked like something out of bloody Barney & Friends.

wher can you find the advert for sunshine?

Urgh that American Mario Sunshine advert, How can people be attracted to the game by that?

American people, that is.

Mario Sunshine is outselling every other game at the moment, in the US. Also, it has beaten Halo in terms of opening weeks sales figures. I guess that people prefer the Xbox console, but prefer the GC games.

Well USA will say that as it is a USA comapany.

As for whcih one is best, is down to the developers of the games.

If they push them hard XB will be better.

I wish people would stop going on about graphics. Sure you will not get 10/10 if they are poor, but mostly if a game is good, as in good ideas well worked and they know it will be big the company will spend more time on the graphics after as they know having good graphics could mean the diffrence between joint best game and best game.
