What's the point in posting about these polls? It's not like they're meaningful.

Who cares about these amateur polls anyway, be the result either positive or negative.

Why do you assume that? If the poll had PS3 in the lead would you say the site was made by the biggest Sony fan?

I can't see how, even if the guy who made this poll is a Nintendo fan, it'd influence the poll this much?

Hey! I got an idea! Let's not post the results of polls anymore!
Especially if they're (1) negative (in our collective* opinion) and (2) you're just gonna swear up and down that they don't matter or are biased anyway?

*by collective I mean overall and not having to do with the few people that defend sony just because.

Who cares if ps3 comes in last place? I do not. It still has the games I want to play. I am not a sony shareholder. Damnit.

Poll results are fairly meaningless, but not nearly as much as "expert" predictions. At least polls are obtaining information from people, even if those people are profoundly ignorant or if the polls are biased, while predictions are pulled from the author's own ass and are just a "I think this because of this and this".

Personally, I'm tired of seeing both subjects.

Another useless poll made by people who are unsure about the console they are getting.

Yes polls are useless, and to everyone that said "Well just because the PS3 was in last, yah of course, now you say its a biased poll." Incase you havent noticed, even the polls that the PS3 is in the lead, we say they are useless.

Well those polls mark the opinion of alot more people than this poll. Elections should be done by over 90% of the population (however I believe the last one was under 10%). This poll was probably done with about 1000 people or less and that is the reason that everytime we have a poll the results are completely different with each one. A new console seems to be in the lead every 5 minutes.

I just took a poll in my head, here are the results;

Will buy a PS3= 1
Will buy a 360= 0
Will buy a Wii = 0

Now as you can see, MS and Nintendo could be in serious trouble here as seemingly this poll would undermine recent popular opinion to the contrary.

In fact, if we take this latest poll of one person and apply it to the population of the World, we see PS3 selling about 10 Billion consoles, with MS and Nintendo falling a distant 2nd with 0 consoles sold each.

We can confidently predict that this latest poll is not going to go down well on the MS and Nintendo forums!!!

^get that dick outta my face (the one in your avatar).

Also, this poll was open to anyone who wanted to partake, so its not all bias. Angeljuice's was not, which is why its a dumb example. Either way, both polls obviously do not show the final outcome, because not everyone uses the internet, not everyone will see that site, not everyone has confirmed their desicions, etc.

Oh, and I was trying so hard to make my poll as informed and unbiased as possible, well done though, for managing to patronise EVERYBODY who reads this thread.

Well JVD you get the dumbest comment of the day award... :doh:
How can you compare a political election to a bullshit online survey.

Oh by the way if the polling process actually worked George Bush would not be president, it's all about the Electorial college my friend...

@Viper, I would say the same for Sony or for MS but here is obvious that a Nintendo fanboy who did this poll, but the polls doesnt show how are the consoles going to do in real life..

Yes that is true for the president , but not every election is decided that way.


That was only done btw to keep people from buying votes in the past (lol like they aren't bought now) .

Basicly we vote for senate and house represenatives and then they are supposed to listen to us and out votes and use that to vote for who we want as president .

It sadly no longer works that way as you noted above .


But all of life is a popularity poll

Agreed electoral votes are outdated and need to be changed, damn republics stole the election (back then anyways, no-one to blame about the last election just the Democrats that dont go vote).

I would like to make note that I have no problem in general with any specific Republican that happens to venture on this thread.

If you guys look around at all the major polls they all come with the same conclusion and more people are interested right now in the Nintendo Wii than any other console. The reason why that is the mystery behind the console has caught their interest.

Nintendo did great at E3 and you guys have to remember that poll won't mean anything for Nintendo if they can't prove themselves with the product.

Can you point out that obvious factor for me because I can't see it. 3 things show me otherwise. 1, sales figures and market share for the X360 are actually given. 2&3, the order fo consoles listed in the paragraph list Wii last both times. A fanboy would subconsciously state the Wii first.

As has been noted, this poll mimics the sentiment shown on countless other polls on many well respected sites. For two generations polls such as this one held Sony in its favor yet outside of Nintendo fanboys not anyone ever tried to claim they were always published by a Sony fanboy based on the fact that a Nintendo console wasn't leading it.

All I'm asking is don't be so quick to push the Bullshit button.

I love my PS and PS2 to deaf-I'm a Playstation fan all the way (not a Sony fan) but I have to agree with Viper on this. Everytime we see a poll or some dev complaining about PS3 we automatically assume it's B.S. With all the negative info suring around there has to be some merit to it guys. I remember the PS2 early days and I believe there is a lot of that going on right now, yet u can't ignore the fact that Xbox 360 delivered on their promise of next-gen games with amazing graphics. Wii delivered on their promise of something unique, innovative, and fun. PS3 has fallen short with games that impress too far and in-between and on the longest and most boring conferences ever. (they didn't even have Assassin's Creed or Heavenly Sword demo at their conference) The system will be great (just look at the developer support) but right now-360 is the only next-gen system out and its actually getting better with each month. It's hott right now-just face it. If u don't want one wait for PS3. If u like Gears of War (like me) or Mass effect or Prey then pick one up in October or whateva. But don't deny polls just because people are showing there disappointment with Sony at the moment. Every system gets it's spotlight
