Video Games Questionnaire

Advanced questions
This was a second section of the Questionnaire, tailored specifically towards people who do play video games. People who don’t wouldn’t be able to properly answer these questions and as a result wouldn’t be able to provide good answers and as a result would damage my entire questionnaire.
How often Video Games are bought
My first question was created to help me gauge how often the average customer actually purchases a video game. This greatly varies based on multiple different factors. For example, the obvious ones would be location and age. If the customer comes from a poorer background, they might not have the money to spend on a lot of videogames. Likewise, a 10 Year old might not have the pocket money to buy more than

This is because while people can easily watch TV Shows without adverts; either by skipping or using services such as Netflix, people use Social Media everyday, and can’t ignore the adverts. This does however let me know that I should consider TV Adverts

The new NBA 2k game that came out was so long anticipated that when it came out hardly anyone that bought the game even liked it.…

    My research project question was “What are the top five best first person shooter franchises?”. The reason I chose this topic was more or less due to the fact that I do not have many interests outside of gaming, and because other ideas I had seemed far too inconsistent at providing results. I did not particularly want to do this topic, but time restraints and other issues made it the most suitable choice.

A survey was also conducted along with the analysis of several videos, however these played less of a role in the final outcome.…
