I need to do a presentation on Video Games from an Indian perspective and, in the process, came to the realization that there are almost no gaming demographics studies conducted in the subcontinent. So, I took it upon myself to make one:

*tinyurl.com/gamingindia

So far I've gathered about 153 responses and some interesting data so far.
It's a pretty short form (takes about a minute tops), so please fill it if you have the time. Thanks.
I'll be putting up the results eventually.

Yeah that question is somewhat problematic. Like I bought all the Console Games and generally peoples go that..!! The Piracy thing comes at PC's.

Filled form.

So far I've gathered about 100 responses and some interesting data in a couple of days.
It's a pretty short form (takes about a minute tops), so please fill it if you have the time. Thanks.
I'll be putting up the results eventually.

Some early charts (back when there were ~50 responses):

I just posted the results so far. Unfortunately, the responses seemed to have slowed down around 150. Next update at 250. Need to get back to promoting this.

I don't wish to start another argument, but its actually person dependent. If you can afford PS3 games, then PC games cost 50% of it.

If you wish to be Jack Sparrow with PC Gaming, then you can do the same with your PS3 too.

& Not all games are enjoyable when Pirated....

Consoles and their games are expensive
PC games are affordable except maybe games published by EA
