8 October 2012

According to the latest MyGaming Survey results, conducted in September 2012, Takealot is the most popular store for purchasing games online among SA’s gamers, used by 57.68% of the survey participants.

Kalahari and BT Games were close for second (50.66%) and third (49.89%) respectively.

With a sample of 912 responses, we are given a good picture of the high-end SA gaming market and their habits.

The following table provides an overview of the survey feedback. The results are ordered according to popularity.

We asked survey participants which online stores they use for purchasing games. The percentage is of the total sample of 912, and it exceeds 100% because this was a multiple choice question, meaning participants shop at more than one of the stores listed.

Other 11.29%
