A new Experian Consumer Research survey comparing Xbox 360 and PS3owners has thrown up some wonderfully frank and comedic results.
Apparently, Xbox 360 users are far more likely to say that they are unable to live without books than their PS3 counterparts.
Butthe PS3 contingent hit back hard on the newspaper front, with way morerespondents (well, 103 compared to 60) saying that they would be deadif they didn't have newspapers.
The age of console owners is alsointeresting… with more in the 18-24 age bracket loving their Wiis, butwith those at 44-years old being far more likely to own a PS3… almosttwice as likely in fact.
It gets better Ifyou think that's funny, read on. In a frankly pointless psychometricstatement test, the PS3 and Xbox 360 owners agree that "real men don'tcry", although the Microsoft-ers state that they are "more interestedin nature".
But while the Xbox 360 folk are reading their gamingmagazines, PS3 are buzzing around go-kart tracks the nation over orplaying board games.
The only question is…why on earth are people asking these questions?

Seriously? People are actually researching something THIS pointless? Its one thing to research if girls are more competitive than guys (another article here, but I don't find it complainable) but to see who reads more? Wow, I'm not blaming iVirtua for anything because I really like this site and Sam is just doing his job but this is annoyingly pathetic. There are more important things to research on if you're to do tech or gaming stuff. I'd like to know who conducted this.
