A presentation held at this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC 2007) titled "The Importance of Audio In Gaming: Investing in Next Generation Sound" contained the following statistics:

* 31% of US households have multichannel speaker set-ups
- Understanding & Solutions 2006

* 47% of Game Console owners (18-25 yr) hook up their game console to a home theatre system
- IDC, Videogame Consumer Survey 2006

* 20% of Hardcore Gamers bought a surround sound system to enhance the game experience
- Consumer Electronics Association, Gaming Technology Study 2006

* 48% of Hardcore Gamers said surround sound is a purchase driver for next generation consoles
- Consumer Electronics Association, Gaming Technology Study 2006

Of course, the topic was about videogame sound but the figures sure bode well for SACD interest among PS3 owners.
