Hi HWZ console gamers,

I am currently doing a sch project on how small players in the console game retailing market can remain competitive despite competition from larger chain retailers. I would like your help in completing this short short survey. Thank you for your time!

Bump ^^! Please feel free to do this survey even if you may not have purchased any video games during Covid. Your response will be greatly appreciated!

Why your survey option no Sony digital store? So many ps5s are digital. I prefer digital games because digital is sign in and play on multiple consoles, have 6x ps5 and can upload save progress and continue on another ps5

can set 1 ps5 as primary ps5, so my wife can also play the same game; 1 digital game, 2 players play together at once, if physical I need to buy 2 discs.

Hi, thank you for your suggestion! I have added more options if u have purchased games via digital stores (e.g. Nintendo Digital Store, Sony digital store etc.).

I didn't include any digital creator store equivalent originally as I had to narrow my scope to console game retailers (e.g. TOG) for a better economic comparison between larger retailers vs the smaller ones, that's why the options were not there initially. Hopefully, this clears things up!

Okay, but do have to take into account because many ps5 are also digital version only, no disc option. Sony is trying to phase out discs someday

Why not share your results with people who voted?
That would be motivation for people to take part.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion! Although I don't necessarily have enough respondents to definitively give a conclusion on the competitive measures undertaken by small vs large console game retailers in SG, I will try my best to give a current state of the results and trends that I can obtain.

So far, based on the respondents, the following trends can be observed:
Most consumers still prefer to shop at physical retail shops, with it slightly edging out online consumers.
Similarly, most consumers can be considered "price-sensitive", that is consumers who factor in the price of the console game before making a purchase.
Probably the place where most consumers shop for console games is Qisahn. This is followed closely by TOG and the Sony digital store.
For brand awareness, most consumers have stated that Qisahn was the most recognisable retailer, even beating out TOG. This will be further examined because it indicates roughly what market share these firms occupy in the console game retail market.

Hopefully, these small trends get more people to take part in the survey! As stated previously, this is not a definitive conclusion about the console game retailing market in SG. So if you haven't done the survey, please do it if you can. Thanks everyone for your help!
