I think in the long term its much more important to see who is playing what, than just who is buying what which is what everyone's focused on so far. Hopefully Jon's panel will shine some light on this.

I'm hoping Jon offers some interests cuts of the unique data that he has. Male vs Female, 18-24 vs 25-34, Myspace users vs Facebook, MMO players vs non-MMO players, bring it on!

Love the idea on this one
Will be interesting to see the demographics on this one, this information will be gold dust for some of the newer online game companies out there.
