Survey Results Revealed

PALGN Feature | So who are you really?

The number of entrants in our survey made it PALGN’s largest entered competition to date. Thank you to all who took an average of 7min and 35sec to answer all 31 of our questions. The minimum time to complete the survey was 2min, 13sec and the maximum was 50min, 56sec (no doubt 40 of those minuets were spent answering Who's your favourite PALGN staff member?).

PALGN readers seem to consist of two main demographics;

1) 47% are 17-35 year old men who own at least 2 consoles and a PC. They buy an average of 1.8 games each month. They watch movies, but don’t visit museums. They visit PALGN several times each week and read the forums, but only occasionally post.

2) 22% are 25-55 year old females who are full-time parents, own a PS2 and buy 1.3 games each month. They visit PALGN once a week and all but one would recommend us to others. They go to the movies and attend sporting events. Luke is their favourite staff member.

The rest are high school students, or middle aged men bludging at work.

Heh, interesting stuff. We have a higher number of female readers than I'd have expected actually. And look:

'2) 22% are 25-55 year old females who are full-time parents, own a PS2 and buy 1.3 games each month. Luke is their favourite staff member.'

The ladies love Luke.

I see...

Interesting and surprising all at once.

Well, I guess the only thing to do is...
If you are one of those 60.99% of PALGN visitors that read the forums but never post, then POST.
We could always do with more forum frequenters.
Or... don't.
Whatever.

Cool stats - now I finally know who I am...

Weren't there more staff members listed in the survey? Or didn't they get any votes?

Pretty interesting set of results though. Little surprised with the amount of PC users, but I guess that is why guess we went on with the idea of covering it.
