A survey
conducted by a PlayStation3 magazine claims that one in three PS3 players
would rather play a game than have sex with their partner.
More than 72 per
cent claiming they'd shun a night of release with their missus if a new
game's release was hitting the shops. Comments included the fact that their
girlfriends were too hard to please and sex was not as much fun as
gaming. While many people would be surprised that gamers have girlfriends,
PlayStation3 magazine found 1130 of them and we don't know what state
their girlfriends were in.
More than 41 per cent said that if they were
given £50, they'd spend it on a video game. The research was carried out
by PlayStation3 site,
www.PS3pricecompare.co.uk, a
specialist independent price comparison website that claims it can help find
the cheapest new consoles and games.
It is probably not the most reliable of
surveys. The sorts of people who reply to such polls are the type who buy
hard copy magazines on the PS3 so we suspect they are hard core gamers. We
are not sure about what “too hard to please” means. Possibly that the
girlfriends demand that they wash before hoping into bed.
