Someone brought up Half-Life sales, but I honestly wonder how legitimate that can be. I bet there's a large number of those people who don't care about Gordon at all. For one, Gordon is a character you never see or hear in the game, so he doesn't exactly leave a large impression on most gamers (hence, the "who is Gordon?"). It's not a slight to the character or game, that's just how it is. Secondly:
Counter-Strike.
Using this poll as being representative that Gordon is more popular than other characters (or his popularity at all) wouldn't make any sense, especially considering the Steam advertising behind a ton of recent votes. By that logic, apparently Bub and Bob must be popular characters since they beat Master Chief?
The poll has no credibility for measuring such a thing.
Btw, while Snake was close, Link was about 50-50 with Gordon as well. On the last day Steam rolled him over (Snake managed to avoid such a fate, lucky him).

Valve themself released the sales figures.

And at the red part. The same could be said of any other character.
The poll is not about who is most popular. The poll is about the greatest hero. But judging by Mario being in the final... It seems to now be Popular Character vs Gaming Hero.
Thankfully, the hero is winning.
