PC/PS2 Gaming of course Yes, can do work on PC and watch movies off of it No, Spend a lot of money on a computer it will last you a long time. Mine is 6 years old and it still plays most games flawlessly Yes, Im getting a new computer in a few weeks. Would not bother with a console cause i dont have a TV Not a lot. Unparalleled gaming power thats very cheap Mouse and Keyboard support Not very, To me it gets in the way and doesnt work half the time. It still is very important to the casual gamer market tho Its not that important, but definatly a plus

As a PC-only gamer, my answers would be moot, other than this answer.

What gaming console do you own? PC

Why did you purchase this gaming console?

To game & provide other necessities such as Internet, word processing, video/picture editing, etc.

Did you ever consider the features other than the gaming aspect the console offers when making the purchase?

Yes. See Answer #2

Was price a big factor when considering the console?

I did not purchase a Wii/PS3/Xbox because they only offer gaming and video playback.

Did you or have you ever considered purchasing another/different gaming console?

I have considered buying a PS3 because of the blu-ray capability and the exclusiveness of the PS3 games. Most of the good PS3 games are not multi-platform, where almost everything offered on the Xbox 360 has a PC version.

Is there anything that would make you consider purchasing a different gaming console than the one you own.

I would buy a PS3 if the price dropped significantly. Also I would have to upgrade my POS tv.

If you could design a gaming console what features would you want it to have and why?

How important is interactive gaming to you (similar to what Wii offers)?

Somewhat important. However most of the games that I find enjoyable offer little to no interactive gaming.

How important is online gaming to you? Somewhat important. I have played a few online games but the idea of paying for a subscription to play the majority of them has cause me to give up online gaming. I tend to become enthralled on one particular game for about a month then become bored of it and move onto the next game. It's not worth it to pay for a subscription for an online game that I don't play for longer than a month's duration.

  1. Xbox 360, Xbox
  2. Xbox was the most powerful gaming console on the market when it hit. I wanted a 360 because I was so impressed with the OG.
  3. Yes, I considered hardware specifications, online connectivity, online content and local (LAN or DL) media playback.
  4. Price was AND wasn't a factor. Once I made the decision to buy a next-gen console the price differences between consoles wasn't great enough to factor into my decision-making.
  5. Yes I considered purchasing both the Wii and the PS3, I am still weighing my options on a PS3.
  6. Only one thing would make me consider purchasing a different game console: exclusive games.
  7. I would want a game console with more storage (where are my 500g HDDs?), more video processing power, and a built in handheld that could dock and retrieve free games that come with my retail full-game purchases.
  8. Interactive gaming is not too important. Right now it's still in it's infancy (remember Duck Hunt? why are we still in that phase?) and thus a novelty.
  9. Certain aspects of gaming online is fantastic (Co-op, deathmatches, ect) but on the whole the main story/campaign is fine as a single player.

Please answer the questions below for a marketing project I'm working on. Thanks for you help!

What gaming console do you own? I own a XBox 360, a Wii and a gaming PC

Why did you purchase this gaming console? I purchased the 360 because I had an Xbox that I got because one of my friends recommended it. I got the Wii because it seenmed fun and it would be good for when I had friends over and I got the PC because of the better games and graphics.

Did you ever consider the features other than the gaming aspect the console offers when making the purchase? Consoles? No. PC? Of course.

Was price a big factor when considering the console? Not really no.

Please explain. I had two incomes at the time of purchases.

Did you or have you ever considered purchasing another/different gaming console? As mentioned before I have numerous consoles and a gaming PC.

If so, why? The more fun the better.

Is there anything that would make you consider purchasing a different gaming console than the one you own. As the PS3 is the only one I do not own I would probably say no right now.

If you could design a gaming console what features would you want it to have and why? Free online conectivity. More advanced hardware with the abililty to upgrade the hardware in your existing consoles without having to go buy a whole new one. Much like a PC.

How important is interactive gaming to you (similar to what Wii offers) Interactiver gaming is rather fun. It depends on my mood.

How important is online gaming to you? Not important right now but it has been important in the past and probably will be in the future.

XBOX 360 and PC

My friends were gaming on it and PS2 got old.

I liked that you could stream music that was on my PC.

Was price a big factor when considering the console? Please explain.

$400 IS a lot of money; but obviously I thought it was worth it.

However, if I had to make the choice again, I'd probably just upgrade my PC.

Did you or have you ever considered purchasing another/different gaming console? If so, why?

No. The PS3 is a waste of monet imo.

Only thing is that I gave my PC an upgrade.

Is there anything that would make you consider purchasing a different gaming console than the one you own.

No.

If you could design a gaming console what features would you want it to have and why?

I wouldn't; PC is awesome :P

not very.

How important is online gaming to you?
