News: Japanese 3DS Satisfaction Research
Posted 09 May 2011 at 05:39 by Ashley Jones
Media Create has asked Japanese users how they feel about the 3DS and also found out the average age of DS owners.
Believe it or not the 3DS has been out for nearly three months in Japan and the Japanese chart tracking service Media Create has surveyed initial purchases about their satisfaction with the console.
Media Create found that overall 70.9% of participants were satisfied with the Nintendo 3DS itself and 66.5% were happy with the console's 3D glasses-free feature. However, it should be noted that the sample is limited and should not be taken as representative of all owners.
The company also discovered the average age of console purchasers and according to the results the average age of DS owners is slightly higher than that of PSP owners. DS owners in Japan are, on average, in their early 20's, while the average age of the PSP user base is late teens. The graph below shows this difference and is courtesy of Media Create.
