We asked respondents to rate their concern on a 1-5 scale, with 1 being not concerned<\/em> and 5 being very concerned<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur poll found that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
72% of gamers are worried their holiday purchases will be affected, with 53% being concerned<\/em> or very concerned<\/em><\/li>28% had little or no concern, with one-quarter of that group saying they had no intentions of buying gaming hardware this holiday season<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nWith gaming on the rise and no end in sight for the hardware shortages impacting manufacturers, many respondents said they would buy their hardware as soon as stock becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHardware specifically has me very concerned as any place that seems to get high-demand stuff is sold out within a minute or less. It feels next to impossible to get new PC hardware and some of these consoles (like the PlayStation 5) because of scalpers as well.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 Male, 24-34, $31-60k<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWant to dive deeper into the results?<\/h2>\n\n\n Results by commonly used words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
