I don't know exactly how this data would be used, but the poll may be fine. Of course, TG will probably have to break down the data, since each poll choice contains variables that are nominal and ratio data. Of course, he could code each category as nominal data, but this is going to be limiting to any statistical work that deals with ANOVA or regression.

With that said, the PSX1 was the last console I ever bought, so I'm not even in the population that this data represents. Umm, external validity FTW, I guess.

Edit: Saw that the poll asks for less than or more than 10 hours a week, which could either be nominal or ordinal level data, I suppose, depending on how its used.
