David's right. The numbers don't add up

>> Its been known for quite a while, that not all PS3 owners know it is a BD player. In fact, about a year or so ago, less than 1/2 of the owners knew it was a BD player. <<

Yeah, I wouldn't trust that poll too much either. Regardless, the number discrepancy that David picked up on shows it wasn't those participating in the poll, but the pollsters themselves who were confused and were reporting the results inaccurately.

>> This has been discussed here previously. It is possible, though somewhat odd, that there are still some that don't know its a BD player. <<

It's possible that some folks conducting the poll didn't know, and therefore didn't know how to tally the answers or ask the questions correctly. The results, if not the entire poll, are flawed.

>> Why do you assume that the total number of players is PS3 owners + BD player owners? Since when do stand alone players make up 45% of all BD players? That's news to me. <<

It shouldn't be up for debate what the results of the poll were. The fact that the pollsters couldn't deliver straightforward results indicates there is a problem.
