Gameboy gets listed as an option, but something current like the PSP gets overlooked? Laughing

Amazing how Cellphone (including smartphone) is leading all the different types of smartphones in the first question. Though not by as much as it should, considering those answers overlapped.

They didn't have "CD player" in the list of media devices in the first question, so I had to put "none of the above" (plus "Blu-Ray" player) because I'm a proud physical media luddite.

Also, I don't plan on buying anything in question 3 unless I absolutely have to. I mean, I'd love to buy a car, preferably something Italian with a prancing horse logo, but that's not in the cards right now. Maybe a Nintendo 3DS if that counts as a "console".

Question 4, I watch anime on physical media. That should be an answer. I don't watch anything online anymore.

I am perplexed how one would play an online non-multiplayer game.

Do people like take turns or something? Bizarre.

Hey, technically that describes Demon's Souls and Dark Souls!

Is a game multiplayer if more than one person is playing the same game at the same time, even if nothing any player does has any effect on the experience of any other player? If so, than Solitaire is a multiplayer game, and so is just about any game you have ever heard of. I think it is more useful to use the term only for games in which one player's actions affects the another player's experience.

Still, it is an amusing image, of players queued up, each waiting for the previous player to complete the game before he or she begins.

I presume a single-player online game would be like the Facebook version of Bejeweled Blitz or Zuma Blitz where it's single-player only but you get to see the scores of everyone in your friend list.

How many hours a week do you spend online ?
on average 170.0 (± 267.1) [histogram]

There are two, one, and one idiots entered 200, 300, and 99999, respectively. Please remove those ridiculous numbers and set an upper limit to 140, the current fourth highest number and arguably the maximum reasonable hours per week for a healthy young adult staying awake. Better yet, change it to a pull-down menu or a dot selection.

I'm not interested in cars but it was motorcycles that initially got me fascinated by Japan. Their motorcycle industry is rather more iconic that their car industy.
