This seems very intresting ......Awesome face

We are now on day ten and gamers are not happy, as 21% are considering Xbox, as PlayStation Network (PSN) is still down. We already knew that some were thinking of moving over to Microsoft’s games console, but we did not imagine the number to be that high. Although it is easy to understand why, no PSN for just under two weeks, and a fear that not only our personal information but also our credit card details could be sold to the highest bidder.

Escapist Magazine reports that the survey was taken by CouponCodes4U, who asked 2,132 people a series of questions regarding the current PSN issue, which is expected to cost Sony a staggering $24 billion. Some may say that they expected this number to be larger, but we have seen time and again that PS3 owners are loyal to their system.

We should not read too much into this figure, as once the PlayStation Network comes back online, users will forget what happened and be happy to carry on as normal – well unless they notice that money starts coming off their credit cards. We now hope that Sony will learn from this and be prepared to counter anything like this in the future – and we are certain that they will.

Do you expect more or less than 21 percent of PS3 owners to switch to the Xbox 360?

I expect more, most PSN gamers are under 15 and have no patience. They will easily go spend a couple hundred of mommy and daddy's money to get online gaming back... That is the way of the current young generation, I sincerely hope it is not that way when they mature, otherwise our nation is in for a lot more problems in the future. But as it stands, I wouldn't be surprised at all if 21% of gamers switched to Xbox, since it is not their money and kids under 15 are usually very impatient and immature, so they will drop a few hundred dollars because of a week and a half of no online. Unfortunately, that's the way young kids are being brought up these days...

I'm sticking with PS3, I'm not gonna waste money on a console that I'm just gonna forget about (or get RROD on) after a few days
But, I expected the number to be a tiny bitter higher, like 25-27%
