15 percent of both PS3’s and Xbox 360’s market were aware of the controllers, and that the average age for intended purchasers was 28 and 25, accordingly. Also female participants in the study, 30 percent of those planned on purchasing Move, and 20 percent planned on buying Natal.
With both yet to retail and more info next week at E3, these numbers should see a raise. Again that will be based off the reaction next week and how well Sony and Microsoft can sway their consumers with what they have to offer in the way of games.
