A survey conducted by C-News news service, aimed at 1000 Japanese consumers aged 10-59 years old, showed that they're more interested in PlayStation 3 than Microsoft's Xbox 360 console. The latter is expected to be available in months, while PlayStation 3 is still about a year away to hit the retail market, but already conquering fans.

The study reports that 60% of consumers were preferably interested in PlayStation 3 as their next-generation console, 8% were looking forward to buy Nintendo Revolution and a mere 2% would like to invest on a Microsoft Xbox 360. Even with 30% undecided consumers, PlayStation would still take the first spot in the survey.

Among the general fanatics which are lead exclusively by the company name, there were consumers who choose PlayStation 3 because it is likely to have a wider range of software and to be technogically superior, as Blu-Ray support.

It is not too surprising that a survey conducted in Japan appointed Sony PlayStation 3 as the top next generation console. Japanese gamers are very loyal to Sony, and PSP was yet another prove of that, with half of million of sales in the first week. Microsoft is likely to launch a huge marketing campaign in Japan in order to address primarily the ones who remain undecided. It will surely be a challenge for the three companies.
