8.9 Million USA Consumers willing to pay FULL PS3 Price

[wraggster]

According to the study by Los Angeles based Interpret, 8.9 million U.S consumers ‘are prepared’ to pay full price ($500 or $600) for the PlayStation 3 this fall, compared to 5.7 million consumers who are willing to buy Wii at $250 and just 800,000 people who are willing to pay full price for Xbox 360 ($300 to $400).

This research, released first to Next Generation, was derived from a sample of 2,000 interviews Interpret conducted online, weighted to 2004 Census data of 13 to 54 year-olds in the U.S. Researchers ran a parallel random digit dial telephone study as a back-up to weigh the data to what the US population looks like to ensure that the online data was not over-representing females, which often occurs with online surveys.

No, I think that the Wii will kick PS3 ass :P

[emuking]

i think that both the wii and ps3 will sell out quickly in the first day they are released, wii will win but thats because nintendo was smart enough to make a crap load of them available for launch

[SnesR0X]

true

[stotheamuel]

umm too bad guys... only 400 thousand... lol

i believe there are that many people willing too ps3 will probobly kick ass...

lol my gamestop is getting 16 ps3s

and only 4 wiis (number will probobly change)

[SnesR0X]

4 wii's? that sucks, how'd you find out?

[stotheamuel]

I know someone who works at a game stop... and she says they have been confirmed 16 ps3s (probly less) and 4 wiis (proboly more) and 2 of those are going to be taken by employees...

[SnesR0X]

ouch, as long as they restock wii's before christmas, i'll be good

u people will be dissapointed by the ps3...it s 100$ too expensive. really! maybe game especially made for the hardware will be good. but ported games won t be as good as the pc or the 360 version.

the wii is just a gamecube with a little more on the cpu side...it s 1.5 time more powerfull than the original gamecube. there is no pixel shader, no shader at all actually . but the price is attractif and the pad is original.

anyway...that was my 2cents...
