[PIGMI] Survey

[Paul Turbett (Black Lab Games)]

Hi Wesley

The survey was anonymous, so I didn't collect that data. To be honest,
I don't think age and gender is really important (and certainly wasn't
relevant to the goal I had for the survey which was to assist with
some decisions about a project I have in the works).

L8r, Paul

From most other sources Consoles beat a PC for games share by a rather whopping margin so I'm curious as to the reasons (apart from those you have already mentioned in the article).
