Well, here it is!

A recent survey conducted by virtual world Habbo revealed that teens love the PlayStation 3 more than the Nintendo Wii or the Xbox 360.

Nearly 60,000 kids between the ages of 11 and 18 took part in the survey, and 69 percent of them thought that the PS3 was either "great" or "good." The Wii trailed closely behind at 64 percent, while the 360 earned a nod of approval from 58 percent of the kids.

I don't care who thinks this is the truth or not. Hell, even i am taking it with a pinch of salt. But for the love of god, no arguments!

Personally i don't think 60,000 kids is a big enough audience to say whether the PS3 is more popular or not. But as it stands this is the biggest survey yet.

They should make it wider.

A poll of all ages, genders and consoles.

Just because they love it doesn't mean they own one.

I'd have guessed the Wii...

Quite true, that is why i don't think it holds much truth. But even 60K is a pretty large audience, and i am surprised at this. I always thought the PS3 had a stigma attached to it, and that the general population seemed to hate it. Guess i was wrong

And yea, my vote would have definitely gone to the Wii being the favorite!

As to my personal vote, i think i would have gone for the PS3. Simply because i have had 2 RRoD's already! Otherwise i would have most probably voted for the 360.

Most of these kids including a few of my brothers friends (They all fall in this age range) just want one because it's the most expensive system. I asked them about what games they want for it and all they mentioned was Madden and other multi platform titles. They have never heard of MGS (BLASPHEMOUS!) or other PS3 only titles. Just like they all want iTouch's. They have no idea *** it's capapble of. They just want one because it's expensive and it might make them look cool.

its research based on teens? the age group is exactly what the survey is about. Whether its market research or whatever, the researchers didnt want the opinions of adults it was looking for teens.

Never-the-less a seperate poll with all age groups would be more intresting.
