This is an awful lot of work to get to the inevitible result of Nintendo.

I can use my eyes and see Nintendo fan-bandwagoning as there is zero mention of Xenosaga in this poll thread other than my own. 

Based on nothing then, okay.

Kid, go on. 100+ voting a studio and then zero people mentioning the series that was the entire reason of the studio's existence is not "nothing". It's ample evidence of a fanbase not at all caring about the body of work/genesis of a studio and just mindlessly picking the one that is under Nintendo control. It couldn't be anymore obvious.

Dude, you only see what you want to see.

Do you think that I want to see a beloved franchise left by the wayside? Believe me, that is not the case. What I would want to see is the absolutely superb games released by LucasArts in the 90's and early 2000's to get the appreciation of fans that they so ever deserve. But sadly, that is not at all the case as evidenced by this poll and its responses. I'm not condemning Nintendo fans or anything as they are free to pick whatever they choose. It's just more of a resigned disappointment than anything.

Team ICO

You don't seem to understand my position in this thread, I will repost what I wrote.

" What really saddens me is the number of people voting for Monolith Soft who never even played the Xenosaga trilogy."

Now, read the above, and try and figure out where your misunderstanding came from.

I think it's sadder that a developer with 3 total games (Team Ico) has the most votes in the poll.  For the record, I gave my vote to Bio Ware.  I loved Shadow of the Colossus as much as the next person, but that doesn't top the legacy of entire series' of Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect.  I don't disagree that Lucas Arts deserves more recognition as well.

Believe me if Team Ico fans were only praising The Last Guardian in this thread I would be far more disappointed in them than I am the Monolith Soft voters.
