What are those darn kids into these days? What are the hip jams? Who makes the hottest kicks? What lingo is even in the flyest jive? Well, the PlayStaion 3 apparently knows what the youth want, as a recent global survey from Habbo indicated that it is the “console of choice” for teenagers.The report surveyed 58,368 teenagers between the ages of 11 and 18 questions about the consoles available today. When it comes to consoles which teens referred to as either “great” or “good,” the PS3 ranked at 69 percent followed by the Wii at 64 percent and the Xbox 360 at 58 percent.
Interestingly, all three consoles ranked pretty closely based strictly on percentages. You also can’t help but wonder why “great” and “good” are lumped in together. Couldn’t this mean that the PS3 scored lots of “goods” but only a handful of “greats,” compared to another console with more “greats” and less “goods”?
The survey also looked at preferences based on gender, with the Wii coming out as the “favoured female choice overall,” especially in age groups up to sixteen. According to the report boys, conversely, prefer the PS3.
Other mildly intriguing tidbits include their result that the Xbox 360 is far more popular in the Unite States than in Europe and Asia, although it is the most popular console in Mexico and Columbia.
The survey also covered both ownership and potential ownership statistics, with 24 percent of those surveyed owning a Wii, 23 percent owning an Xbox 360, and 21 percent owning a PS3. The Wii and the PS3 apparently have the greatest potential for growth, with the most people reportedly planning on purchasing one of the consoles within 12 months.
