Except the question is not "What will be YOUR big game this holiday" the question is "What will be THE big game of the holidays". If you are the least bit objective then whether the question is about sales or general interest/hype the answer is clearly not Uncharted 2, although that is one of MY most anticipated games. ODST and MW2 are going to get far more attention and far more sales. The OP is correct, this site clearly has more Sony fans and the polls almost always tend to skew towards Sony. Another example was Natal being the biggest disappointment of E3. I mean, come on, seriously? It's probably been the most media hyped thing to come out of E3. You may not think it's going to be the next big thing but how can any honestly call it the BIGGEST disappointment of E3? At the very least it has the potential to be an interesting product. Having said that, the Sony wand was also not worth all those votes. Face it, the polls tend to devolve into a popularity contest where people just pick the one that benefits their platform of choice without seriously considering the question in an unbiased way. |
My thoughts exactly. PS3 exclusives are hyped above their market weight. I won't say that Sony can't have big games, because that's crap, but to expect Uncharted 2 to outsell ODST, MW2 and NSMB Wii is ludicrous.
The wording "THE big game of the holidays" is an important point, explained by daroamer. If it was YOUR biggest game of the holiday, then it should come down to personal preference.
