Gamers Don't Know Their Own Consoles

Posted by Zonk on from the you-paid-up-now-pay-attention dept.

deadmantyping writes "Ars Technica reports on a survey of 6,260 responses which indicates that only 40 percent of PS3 owners knew that their console included Bluray. Apparently a large portion of gamers aren't aware of the non-gaming capabilities of their systems. Ars speculates that this might help explain Nintendo's apparent dominance in the console market since their introduction of the Wii."

    I bought a Wii so that my wife and I could have [...] fun [...] on the el-cheapo 19" TV in our bedroom[.] Nintendo's concentrating on quick, fun games

    What a coincidence! My wife and I sometimes have quick fun in the bedroom with my Wii, too.

    Actually, believe it or not, I work and she stays at home with the children. She cooks me dinner, cleans my house, and even has sex with me.

    Oh and she's a super cool computer geek like her husband ;) Aren't I the lucky one?
