I thought that many of you may find this little news tidbit interesting and spark a bit of lively conversation here in our favorite gaming section.
It seems that a new poll by the NPD group shows the following.
41% of gamers get their gaming information by word-of mouth.
31% get their information from hands-on play at home or at a friends house.
Only about 5% of gamers get their information from advertising.
This information varied between platforms, but it's interesting to note that the gaming publishers spend millions of dollars promoting their games through adverts, and this seems to be the least effective way of getting their point across.
So, what do you all think, and where do you get your gaming info?
