We’ve got another bit of market research for you, this time about possible future purchases of next-gen consoles in Japan. Maybe not surprisingly, the Xbox 360 didn’t do too well. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that to date the original Xbox has sold around 500,000 units, a sales figure which the PS2 reached two days after launch. The researchers asked 1,000 japanese people which console they will buy and a mere 2% chose the Xbox 360. This is in comparison with the Playstation 3 garnering 60% of the vote. Now, these numbers are purely based on a thousand japanese people’s opinions at this current time. They do not represent any factual market share figures for the next-gen market, they only indicate how the market will go in the future. So don’t shoot the messenger!
