Famitsu polls Japanese gamers E3 interests

I think that's a DQ spinoff for Wii, or DS. Think it's Wii.

DQ swords is for Wii.

IIRC this poll only records the number of accesses on Famitsu.com according to the Japanese based GAFer's.

So it's not a poll, but a statistic of their website traffic?

Judging from their pointed interests though they seem like they want to know because they are considering to get one.

Yes you could take that view but equally plausible is that in this case I think it's more to do with the unmitigated PR disaster (price alone) that Sony suffered at E3 this year. People are intrigued by shocking news.

As a corollary to this I don’t' think many Japanese consumers will be best pleased with Sony not protecting their consumer sovereignty through the use of a open pricing scheme for the premium model. I don't understand that tactic at all, that is unbelievably anti-consumer. Maybe someone can enlighten me further on this issue (if it isn’t too far off-topic), is it common to see this sort of pricing strategy employed in Japan?

Yes, according to the Japanese based GAFer's.
