I'd be interested to hear the question Gradthrawn would use this poll to answer. I don't think it was tightly enough constructed to address any particular idea, and is more just an 'internet information' poll.
More idle curiosity than any solid question I was seeking to get answered. I wondered to myself if people who fully intend to buy these next consoles on day 1, are also the type who are already invested into the subscription based service model created by the respective platform holders. I thought that would be a forgone conclusion (of course they are, right?) but a forgone conclusion without any supporting evidence, ideally actual numbers, is not more than idle speculation. However, the results as they stand are far more mixed than I expected. I'm hoping for continued participation to get a larger data-set from B3D. A lot of this was spurred by some of the recent discussions/comments I've seen across various forums about not just simply wanting to wait before they buy (that makes sense) but they also didn't understand why anyone would by day 1. Which for me the reason was simple, because I want to. And I want to because I'm excited by these platforms.
because of free peer to peer gaming was such a big rallying cry for the ps3 fans. Its suprises me that people were spending money for ps + I actually don't know anyone irl that has ps+
Please don't fall into the Rangers mindset of grouping everyone into this "PS fan" or "contingent" group. It's makes discussion difficult. If you simply view it as individuals using free online play as a rallying cry, it should not be terribly surprising that there are other individuals, who also own a PS3, that disagree with them.
