Did Japanese People Buy Game Consoles During The New Years_

Sales are abound during the New Years holidays in Japan. Here’s a list of rummy royal the most popular items purchased — including game hardware.

On January 4 of this year, a little over 1,200 members of RealWorld Yono all app RealResearch were polled about their New Years shopping. Here’s the sample breakdown: 59.1 percent were male, 8.7 percent were in their teens, 7.4 percent in their twenties, 20.8 percent in their thirties, 12.8 percent in their forties, 27.6 percent in their fifties and 22.6 percent were in their sixties and up.

Out of that sample, only 10.6 percent purchased electronics during the New Year. (Ouch.) Here’s what they bought:

1. Television: 16.6 percent

2. Digital camera: 14.6 percent

3. Computer peripherals: 13.9 percent

4. Computer: 11.9 percent

5. Portable audio player: 8.6 percent

6. Blue ray player, recorder: 6.6 percent

7. DVD, Hard Disk player, recorder: 6.6 percent

8. Portable games machine (PSP, Yono all app DS, etc): 5.5 percent

9. Console games machine: 3.9 percent

10. Audio device: 3.9 percent

11. Mobile phone: 3.1 percent

12. Video camera: 0.8 percent

Too bad we don’t know which consoles they bought.
