Topic: Big Brother Is Watching

Check it out.

Those harmless surveys sure find a lot of information about their subscribers, eh?  And they can sum up Nintendo Power readers quite nicely:

Nintendo Power readers....
- Are primarily fanboys between the ages of 12 and 18 years old.
- Love getting the edge on the game.
- Love news about upcoming titles and they want it as early as possible.
- Like the big games, franchise games, Nintendo games.
- Buy a lot of video games per year....about an average of 15, in fact.
- Love high-tech stuff.
- Are early adopters of new Nintendo game systems.
- Pass it around to other gamers....but they want it back!

Bloody hell - they even know what cereal, lollies and soft drink you consume.

This is double plus ungood.

I couldve guess easily many of these points without the need of a survey.

Yeah, but advertisers aren't going to spend big bucks based on your guess, even if it turns out to be accurate.

I definitely fell into most of the more popular answers.  They know what channels I watch!  OH NO.

Edit: I was a little surprised at how small the under-12 userbase is.  I thought most people lost interest in NP sometime in their teens.  Well played, Nintendo.

Lol I'm writing an essay about Orwell right now "ORTHODOXY IS UNCONCIOUSNESS."

Well, these things are optional, not like their snooping around ala Sony rootkits.

I have to stop reading NP, I and too old... arrgg

[Bill Aurion]

I'm out of that age gap and I'll continue to read it until it dies! =D

I didn't read it because it was little more than a hyped up strategy guide...but now that its actually a decent gaming magazine, I've been buying it religiously.

Mainly for the Inside Zelda articles.
