Good news. I don\'t really trust the polls. Most of the folks responding to them are gaming enthusiasts; it doesn\'t really reflect what casual gamers feel. But those are good numbers - good to see that the enthusiasts are gaining more trust with Sega.

Sorry mm, that picture is only worth 900 words--Tops!:p
-
Thank god DC is still up there.
-
I love you mm! :p
Go Sega!

PS2-11%
DC-8%
GC-5%
Xbox-3%
Indrema-73% :D

Well,its good to see that the three consoles that I will own are the top three in that list.Even more suprising, its good to see Sega doing well.And its good to see the GameCube was in there pretty high and its not even out yet!
Oh,look at X-Box.LAST PLACE.Haha I love teasing the ****-box,its so easy!

Way to go Dreamcast and PlayStation 2! I hate Lunchcube!

This is precisely my point. No place is covering the Indreama! It doesn\'t even make it on POLLS. What is with that? Its a console also! Come\'on, give us Indreama support! One of the main reasons the system will fail, is because no place is giving support to it.
Ahhh. Oh well.
Congrat\'s to Sega.

i didnt think indrema was a "console" as its more as a tech addon to DVD players.

Thats the NUON chip, your thinking of. The Indreama itself is a console. Where as the NUON is a new Chip for DVD players with 20x Zoom features and such.

Playstation 2 is losing it\'s popularity. Two months ago there was a poll just like that on a non-ps2 based site, and PS2 got 61%, followed by DC\'s 17%, then GCN\'s 16%, and last, X-Box\'s 6%.

Like I said, Sony(notching at the top), and Sega(for a while at least), will be the survivors of the console wars. Eventually NGC will take control, but X-box doesn\'t stand a chance. In 3 years(from when X-box and NGC are released), Sony will be at the top, Nintendo battling right next to it, and X-box, the biggest upset. By this time Sega will probably working on a release for their new system.

Good news for the big 3. Bad news for MS.
-
Microsoft sucks before launch his console... come on Sega, Sony, Nintendo!!

That trend will continue for a few monthes, but every ps2 made will sell like potatocakes, and then when they start releasing some mothr fu!@#ing games maybe we will like it better.
I am getting really depressed with the game state right now. Can\'t we please have just one decent adventure game Sony ? Im getting so tired of mindless games that I am going to have to go buy another dreamcast just to play shenmue !! ZArghhhhhhhhhhh I need good games..... somebody please help me!!!!

And we all know how well potato cakes sell. I just bought a whole case of potato cakes. :D
-
Glad that Dreamcast is doing nice also.
But opinions can change, I\'m afraid. X-box is still so far away that ppl are hesitating to decide whether to buy it or not yet. But I have nothing to complain here.
Still, image tells more than a thousand words, correct?
sorry, mm, not this time :D

Hey guys.I found another poll that also tells a 1000 words...
Its from Coremagazine.com. It called "If you could buy only one,which console will you get?" And here are the results: (DC was not entered :()
PlayStation 2: 33%
GameCube: 53%
Xbox: 14%
Total votes: 3912
http://www.coremagazine.com/polls.php3?id=73
Go Nintendo!Die Microsoft!
-
Total votes: 3912
Um, you guys don\'t get it do you? Online polls mean absolutely nothing.
Look at the above example,.. wow a whole 3912 votes. Of the ~900k PS2\'s sold, and ~4million DCs, what the hell do 3900 votes mean? Exactly, nothing.

so ANONYMOUS online voting means nothing huh? and i guess florida did a BAD job screwing over gore for the presidency also. sheesh.

Ah c\'mon mm, you\'re taking it to the extremes. ;)
The majority of console owners are the casual, and they don\'t even know about online polls. The point I was making is that it doesn\'t affect the future nor determine the future of a console. 4000 (online) voters are an extremely small piece of the huge pie of videogamers.
- dm
-
datamage is correct. Although these polls are interesting, the casuals will decide who wins the console wars. I read somewhere that 94% of developers thought that the PS2 will win the console wars...wonder if that means anything???
-
yeah
http://www.coremagazine.com only had 3400 votes. I NEVER HEARD OF THEM or that site. 95% of "causal gamers" dont know about that site either i bet. at any rate, id LOVE to see how many votes ign.com receieved total. i KNOW its pretty much a moot point. the console with the best games will win, this has been proved all thru history.

CoreMagazine is decent. They are nothing horrible or great. I\'d be more interested in IGN, like you mentioned. They done a poll at one time, I believe. Maybe I\'ll go check out if you can see their past Polls and stuff.
Popularity contest can only last for so long. Console with the games will win by the end of the "term". Ahhhhhhhh. Who knows. Or even cares. It will be interesting with so many good consoles out.

Um, you guys don\'t get it do you? Online polls mean absolutely nothing.
Hey I agree with you,they do mean nothing,I never stated or implied that they did.But you could of said something to mm instead of me,whats the difference between our polls that we posted?-Nothing.

Online polls are useful after you take the little things out.
- Room for mistake. Where the user clicks the wrong one and hits the "VOTE" button.
- Lie factor. Someone who just clicks one out of boredom.
- Random factor. Someone who just clicks one at random.
- Past factor. While many may vote AGAINST a console, quite a few may and probally will end up buying that console.
- Future factor. While the vote tally is for right now. What happens when all 4 consoles are launched? The vote should be redone ("I demand a recount!")
- Multi-Voters factor. People who vote once a day , or maybe more so for their console of choice.
- Limited voters factor. CoreMagazine isn\'t a huge site. So, they\'re limited amount of votes should in no way speak for the massive amount of people.
I\'m sure there is more little things you could add to that list. But, the overall point of those votes are just for interesting yet pointless things. It is interesting to see that some websites "voting" shows the DC is quite awhile, while the XBox is still-born. But, still, I don\'t think it should be taken to heart. Things will change and those votes are only a small percent of people.

Jumpman,
My post wasn\'t directed @ you. I just took the poll you used as an example. Was just making a point about online polls. Nothing personal. :)

I ****ING HATE MICROSOFT! SO I CHANGED TO LINUX MANDRAKE 7.2!

All I have to say is is it a "Scientific Pole"? Nope...
For those of you who don\'t know what that is you\'ll find out when you take Government in High School. Atleast here in the US.
So, online poles are pretty much worthless anyway. Kinda like going to a Nintendo site and creating a pole, which do you like GC or PS2? GC will obviously win, it IS a Nintendo site afterall. Basing your opinion on who will win by looking at these poles means nothing.

Woops! All of this stuff was already posted above. Didn\'t realize there was a second page
