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.<\/p>\n

Kalahari and BT Games were close for second (50.66%) and third (49.89%) respectively.<\/p>\n

With a sample of 912 responses, we are given a good picture of the high-end SA gaming market and their habits.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview of the survey feedback. The results are ordered according to popularity.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
