It's a trick question with an answer that you have total control over. How is that educating anybody? And it's a shame because if you did it as a fair test it could actually be pretty interesting.
>I'm going to show you some games now.
>Some of them will be 8 bit and some will be 16 bit, you will tell me which is which.
Use a big enough selection of games from both consoles, along with some actual 8 bit games as controls, to reduce the bias you introduce by selecting the games. Or even sample from the entire library, randomly, or maybe weighted by some measure of popularity, and conduct small surveys with a larger number of participants.
So many possibilities and you went with a rigged game. Oh well, it would probably just show that both consoles have some duds that look like they could have been NES or Atari 7800 games, along with some standouts that make the rest of the 16-bit generation look obsolete. And even if either console happens to have more games of one of those kinds than the other, it doesn't really say anything about which is the superior console, just which one was more of a target for slop games.
