PS3 Men Say Games Are Better Than Sex

According to a press release from a specialist PlayStation 3 site [http://www.ps3pricecompare.co.uk/index.php], two thirds of PS3 men prefer games to sex.

There comes a time after April Fools day where you just have to remind yourself that the world is actually crazy, and this "survey" tends to confirm it.

The study of 1,130 British men who own a PS3 showed that, given the choice, only 68% would spend a night of passion with their partner rather than a night playing games. Make it new PS3 games though, and that number plummets down to 28%. And these are all men in a relationship.

The main reasons behind this sudden drop was said to be range from "partner being hard to please" through to "not as much fun."

A similar bias was shown when the same men were asked what they'd do if they were given £50: 41% began lining up their new game purchase while a mere 3% planned to pay off some debt.

Perhaps they should use it to buy a gift for the partner they're ignoring, instead.

I am a PS3 playing male and this survery seems to be accurate.

 

[ckeymel]

Wow, this kinda makes me blanch. -.- I would be curious to see the age range of this study.

 

[Nimbus]

Um... Wow...

Thank God for natural selection.

I wouldn't know because I do not have a PS3 no do I have a girlfriend. If this were for the xbox 360 which do have there is still the lack of a girlfriend that prevents me from making an accurate judgement.

I think I would probably go for ... erm ... sex. But then again, Killzone 2...

 

[BonsaiK]

Well, it IS PS3 gamers. Doesn't suprise me really. Anyone willing to fork out the going rate for a PS3 probably doesn't have that many other high priorities in their life.

Maybe but I don't think this is valid. As there is some diference like with how old are the pople they ask them this, are there maried and so on. There is just to much variabal to say this kind of thing. But from what I can se I think that maybe 20% would rather play games than have sex.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

Can't I just choose both!? AT THE SAME TIME?!

That's just sad...I wonder who they got for the survey.
Sony might actually use that in their ads: "PS3: Better than sex"

Yeah, but to be fair this is a UK site.

haha, very true.

 

[super_smash_jesus]

Have any of the people polled actually had sex before? That is a pretty big factor when you decide if you want more. Also, there is no reason you can't have sex WHILE playing, so maybe that should be part of the poll.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Yeah, but to be fair this is a UK site.

And what is that supposed to mean? I am a UK man! (Well, actually I'm a UK 14 year old boy, but the point still stands)

OT:
This makes me slightly embarrassed that I have a PS3. I mean, come on, it's sex! I haven't had any yet (again, 14 years old) but...I can't think of a good way of ending this sentence.

 

[ThePeaceFrog]

ah well, at least those people who own ps3s won't be able to spread their faulty genes to another generation

I have heard of similar surveys of women who would rather go without sex for life than give up chocolate.
I think it's because both a videogame and a box of chocolate asks nothing of you but that you enjoy it. Pets are similar as they don't expect you to understand them, just give them affection. Relationships are complex, demanding and for most it's a dance of compromise.
Most men don't like shopping. Most women don't like porn. Few men enjoy romantic comedies. All women hate Groundhog Day.

PS3 better than sex?! Wtf is wrong with them?!!!!!!! I mean PS3 is great, but better than sex?... WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM?!!!!!

 

[Steve Dark]

I think the results would be drastically different if they took a survey from single men instead...
