Jon Peddie Research, in conjunction with Antikythera Intelligence and Research, and Wccftech, a technology publication house, held a worldwide survey of PC gamers from the 3.5 million Wccftech site visitors that resulted in 4,477 responses to 26 questions in October 2019.
Survey results combined with the respondent’s demographic data produced 143,264 answers to critical consumer buying plans, market attitudes, and currently-owned equipment.
The single largest response came from the U.S., followed by the U.K. Some of the results were surprising such as the large 41 percent installed base of AMD processors, plans to purchase Nvidia’s newest graphics add-in-board (AIB), and attitudes about pricing for motherboards, AIBs, virtual reality (VR), and head-mounted displays (HMDs).
The new Gamer’s Buying Plans is a 55-page report contains what PC gamers have and are planning to buy on a worldwide, regional, and country basis. It’s intended for OEMs, component suppliers, and partners. Consisting of two parts, the written report – including an executive summary, and the raw database of the survey will provide valuable insights.
A sample of the survey questions is shown here:
