According to the latest MyGaming Survey results, conducted in September 2012, BT Games is the most popular physical retail store for purchasing games among SA’s gamers, used by 74.01% of the survey participants.<\/p>\n

Incredible connection and Look & Listen were second (37.61%) and third (32.02%) 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 physical retailers 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
