A recent survey of over 1000 women by one of the UK’s leading PlayStation 3 price comparison websites has shown that almost half of those asked would forbid their partners from purchasing a games console, even though 32% would quite like to treat themselves to one.
Research by www.PS3PriceCompare.co.uk of 1,316 females in relationships has revealed that 48% of women would ban their boyfriends or husbands from buying a games console, despite almost 1 in 3 of the women admitting to wanting a games console for themselves.
The top reasons behind the ladies not wanting their partners to own a games console included jealousy and the fact that their living room gets taken over. 28% of the women questioned felt that games consoles like the PS3 and Xbox ate in to their quality time with their other half, whilst 34% were more bothered about the cost.
Almost 1 in 4 of the participants surveyed by PS3PriceCompare.co.uk said they would rather their partner didn’t have a games console because they said it would have a negative impact on their sex life.
When asked “Has a games console ever caused an argument between you and your partner?” nearly half answered ‘yes’. However, the study proved all was not lost, as 6% claimed a games console had brought them closer somehow.
Another statistic revealed by the survey was that there has been a 53% rise in the number of women playing video games in the last year, with more feminine consoles like the Nintendo Wii and DS becoming more popular.
