Didn't mean to be giving you the 3rd--I was just curious.  I'll read the article when I can get my connection hashed out.

NP.  I should also add that the 1up article won't answer your questions because they don't mention anything along the lines of demograhics and such.

Another tid-bit for you all.  According to PA the Wii was a no show at E3 becasue people weren't actually playing the Wii but modified gamecubes.  Intresting.

we were told that "all showfloor games were actually running on GameCubes." I've chosen not to really integrate that kind of information into my impressions. One developer told us that the demo units had the sensitivity on the remotes jacked up to some ridiculous degree. No doubt when the device is in your own home, you calibrate it the same as you would your DS or any other non-standard input. I relate this item with a bit more confidence. Add that to the fact that every video of people playing the system shows them utilizing gross motor movements and generally behaving like spazmoids, and you have a scenario where their own promotional materials have taught every person to play it wrong.

Okay, I just got to read the 1up article, and it irritated me.  The reason I had asked to know about the sampling was that it's a pet peeve of mine when studies are cited to "show" something, but they don't explain how the study was performed.  Where was the survey done?  How did they select the subjects?  That sort of thing can make a huge difference on the results.  Not knowing it leaves me just sort of shrugging my shoulders about the "findings."  Could be interesting, but I'd have to know what they did to put any faith in it.

That chart is rather interesting, it shows the cost of pretty much every gaming system adjusted for inflation.  They only company with multiple systesm that has managed to actually lower the price of their systems is Nintendo.

To answer a previous statement:  I don't think I would need a bigger screen to improve *aim*.  I just think it wouldn't be as enjoyable without a more spacious screen.  That's just me.  I have this little TV, and I *know* it would be kind of pointless to be clicking at objects that are inches apart.

But I guess a bigger screen would increase gameplay for the other models as well.  I just think it would almost be a *must* for the Revolution.  Especially with the game setup (which I realize will vary from game to game).
