We want a Dolphin!

Yeah so do I. But it looks like "the people" want the Dolphin. One study I will have no problem...er...a....studying. Thanks to Nintendojo with the good word.

A study by Ziff-Davis has revealed several interesting statistics about videogames and Nintendo. "Video Gaming in America 1999" reveals, among other facts, that Mario is one powerful videogame character. "...The "Mario" character and game commands the highest knowledge and has the strongest purchase impact, eclipsing publishers and developers in establishing individual brand power. Mario led Nintendo, the highest-ranked publisher, and both dramatically surpassed SquareSoft, the video-game developer in driving purchase decisions."

Even though the Sega Dreamcast will be released in just two and a half weeks, 55% of gamers show greater interest in Nintendo's next console, Dolphin. (65% show great interest in the PSX2.) Meanwhile, the study showed that action games have become the most popular type of game; adventure games have lost ground.
