* 26% (5171 votes) - Plan to buy when price is reduced
* 24% (4742 votes) - Presently have no interest to buy

Who are these people they surveyed? I mean, did they survey the general populace -- ie. nongamers and gamers alike -- or just gamers? Because if they just surveyed 20,000 random people whether they like games or not, and only 24% of them have no interest to buy the PS3, then I think Sony has nothing to worry about.

I'm assuming it was an internet poll where whoever wanted to submit an answer did and whoever didn't, did not. I got this from a second hand source so perhaps tomorrow I'll search Yahoo Japan and see if I can find the poll.

The PS3 is bigger because its power supply thingy is built-in, unlike the Xbox360 which comes packed with a super huge-ass power brick. Even so, it's still not as big as the original Xbox.
