We Are in DEAD, VERY DEAD HEAT........R&R.!!!!!!

Its close to the real one, it took 2 days to do this for you guys, and this is how u treat a person.  My god, you people like you make me so ****ing sick to my stomach, I wasn\'t bias in that post.  Infact I was praising the X-Box....

Do u guys want a recount with DC included.

Most polls didn\'t have DC included.

"Guys the DC will not last long that\'s one reason it shouldn\'t be on the list.."

and that because of people like you.

Hmmm Made some interesting reading. however i believe that once PS2, Xbox and gamecube start to do some "real" advertising then it will all change as all those casual gamers will start to actually get some infomation on what the different consoles can do.

The Poll is interesting. It would of made more sense to include the DC. But either way...

I would take the POLL after E3 is over. Or just recount the POLL after E3. That way, each console will have a fair share of attenion.

Either way, interesting and good poll, Gamer.

I agree that it is interesting. But to not include the Dreamcast because in your opinion "It will be dead by then" pretty much negates any credibility that you may have gotten through researching other things. You say "The allmighty Dreamcast will have 12.3%, but look at what the gamecube had: .9%
and the PS2 had 20%, or 7.7% more than the Dreamcast. Your numbers alone indicate that it is far from being dead and buried.

1. The opinions of 1, 2, 5, 10 or even 20 thousand people don\'t mean a damn. The console war is going to be decided in millions.

2. Its too early to call. Do this poll after E3 2001 and there will be different results.

3. Dreamcast should be included as a viable contender.

4. Why are those percentages adding to over 100?

Thanks for all your work The Game!  I would really like to see things work out this way.  Hopefully the market will be large enought to sadle three systems, that would only help consumer choice and get some good competition going between the three for First Party game dominence.

Poll:

How many people here DON\'T LIKE EThugg?

Hows that poll?

Anyways I thought that was an fairly accurate poll.Where\'s the bias in there?Cause DC was left out?

I like EThugg! Yes, to not include 1/4 of the choices is what makes this \'poll\' an total sham.

1-What \'real\' one is this close to?

2-Most polls didn\'t have DC? Then they were biased too. It took you 2 days to average out OTHER peoples polls?

Let me get this straight, you left out DC because you and Trip Hawkins don\'t think it will last, nevermind the fact that it is sold out of nearly every store around my area as of now (personal research), shoots down your biased and empty research.

This poll is completely worthless as the current winner was left out, two consoles which aren\'t even out yet or started their own avalanche of advertising al la PS2.

The totals can add to over 100% because people, like me, buy more than one or all of the consoles. But this poll should be taken with a bucket of salt and should be regarded as the opinion of the author and not anything close to factual.

I don\'t think that E3 will sway any casual gamer\'s opinions at all.

Mostly I think this because no casual gamer has any idea what the hell E3 is.

If I asked my wife, the ultimate casual gamer, what E3 is, she would look at me like I had 4 heads.

The advertising blitz is what will make or break PS2, X-Box, GC and DC in regards to this much sought-after piece of the game industry pie.

I think Sega was very wrong with their initial, "Let\'s show gamers what kind of an attitude we have by showing wise-ass video game characters host a rave," ad campaign.  It sucked.  Nobody saw in-game stuff.

I think Sony is dead wrong with their ad campaigns.  They don\'t have one!!  Since its release, I have seen maybe 2 different commercials for PS2.

What\'s my point?

Well, exclusive video game conventions will not sway casual gaming opinions.  ADVERTISING will.  All companies involved in this regard are very very wrong in this case.

Show more in-game footage on many, many commercials.  That\'s it.

This is shaping up to be a battle of EPIC proportions.  I believe that the only way to win casual gamers from ANY side is to advertise out the ass.

Now, yeah, I think E3 will definitely sway some hardcore gamers, who don\'t own a PS2 or a DC yet, and are waiting to see the future.

As for me, I have said it before, I have been gaming since the early days of Atari/Colecovision, and will always play video games, but I made my choice with PS2.  I gotta stick by it now.  Besides, I think it really is the best one out, and coming out.

Sorry for my rantings.

Thanks for the ratings ET. I wondered also why Dreamcast was left out but you apologized your mistake and explained how to get those prosents in ( I just can\'t get it the mathematical method I mean )

This thread is starting to get flamy.

Interesting and funny to watch.

Why would the casual gamer care about having in fgame footage in the commercials? They don\'t. They care about great graphics, that is why all the Final Fantasy commercials have NO ingame and all FMV, they want to pimp the graphics (althoguh not realistically) to the casual gamer. The Sega commericals work just for that purpose, the Jet Set Radio commercial is the best I\'ve seen.

I haven\'t seen any Jet commercials, but, I would think the best way to "pimp" the graphics would be to show them in action, on the screen.  Why wouldn\'t they wanna do that?  \'Specially with something as graphically impressive as Metal Gear?
