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

I placed this on the ‘advanced’ section of the questionnaire as I didn’t want information about people other than my target market. The most popular form of advertising is, according to the questionnaire, television. This is followed by sponsored twitter posts, and then YouTube, Posters and Facebook. I believe that the most effective form of advertising and brand awareness is actually via Social Media such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. 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

    People who buy products that are made for a specific purpose expect that the product will fulfill their wants and needs. They do not want to spend money on something that will not be beneficial to them or be worth the money that they have spent on it. Think about how upset you are when you long anticipate a new product coming out; especially if it is marketed for a long time before it is actually available to the general public. 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.…

    Shooter Franchies

    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. The majority of my research was based around literature review, more specifically, analysing various reviews and articles about games. A survey was also conducted along with the analysis of several videos, however these played less of a role in the final outcome.…

    Jeff Bezos has publicly referred to the company’s mission statement as a driving force behind many of hs decisions during the company’s history.
