20th December- Making sense of it all

The results if the questionnaires

It is time to gather the results of my questionnaires

For the males I found that

·         They all owned a games console

·         They had all bought a game in the last year

·         They had all played a game in the last month

·         That the characters were always male

·         That the characters were either people or a mixture of people and cartoons

·         That round about half of the people are putt off by the price of games

·         That males don’t still consider gaming to be for boys

·         Round about half of them didn’t believe the aesthestics of a game mattered

·         0 males use to play games and stopped

The thing they enjoyed most about games

·         Competing

·         Time wasting

·         Avoids university work

·         Escapism

·         Relaxing

·         Socialising

·         Fun

·         Variety

The aspect they least enjoyed was

·         Boring

·         Team based

·         Price

·         Difficulty

·         Repetition

·         Bad unbelievable plots

·         Take up too much time

For the female results I found that

·         Under half of them owned a game console

·         Under half of the people who didn’t own a console had owned one previously

·         The last time they played a game varied between over 2 years ago to the day they filled in the survey

·         That the characters were usually cartoons

·         That the characters were usually both sexes

·         That the price is a serious issue why they don’t play games

·         That they still consider gaming to be for boys

·         Over half thought the aesthetics mattered

The things they enjoyed about gaming
