Raven, Ryuu and I are the ones who will organize the threads with the polls, but we are willing to listen to suggestions for future polls!

Well my friend, it is my duty to inform you that I master the ancient Jedi art of mind control by waving my hand in front of you when I wish to control your mind. So here goes:

You will put my suggestion for the poll at the next poll...!

So, did it work?

You'll have to wait until the next poll to find out!

Even if a minority, I'm still shocked that so many here are ready to buy cardboard toys...

As for the poll, who decides the questions? Can I suggest one? If yes, can I suggest the next poll to be "which is more important to you, framerate or image definition". Or perhaps a better way to put it would be: If you had only one choice among these two, which would you take? 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps?

Your avatar is literally a burlap bag.

Exactly.  It's still subject to flaws with self reporting, but at least it gives people an opportunity be a bit more specific.  At this point in the poll knowing that PS4 and XBoxOne owners aren't going to buy Labo doesn't really help us guage the interest for the average Nintendo fan.  I can tell you're on the right page and I'm looking forward to future Polls of the Week.

I got ya, now...   ...and yeah, "self reporting" is impossible to control but you would hope a Sony person who has zero interest in ever even buying a Switch, would avoid a poll about Labo.

 

Anyway - it was the very first poll of a resurrected feature, and all I had asked of Raven was to just make a simple "Labo = Yes/No" poll to kick us off. I'm sure they'll have better ones in the future. :)

Yeah...that's just not going to happen.  The hate for Labo is so high that the opportunity to add to a negative reaction for the game/peripheral product is too appealing. The real trick is to create an option that gives them the opportunity to pick a more attractive "other" response that they can't help but choose.  For instance: Heck no; PS4 for life!

Again, I'm not complaining or mocking or trying in any way to disparage the poll.  Just that there's an art form to getting pure results that I hope the pollsters strive for.  If for no other reason than great polls are fun to read and create interesting conversation.

This truly is the great VGC renaissance. What a time to be alive.

I guess it took Brett's total abandoning of the site (a metaphor for the Europeans abandoning the Eastern Romans for those that were wondering) for things to finally change. Now if only there was someone out there who could push things even further, and really make vgchartz great again...



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

If you have to explain it... then it wasn't a good metaphor

Well some people who know shit about history won't understand it, so it needed to be said.
