Hmmm .....a poll done on PC garnering votes for a favorite character from a PC game......

most people who are voting from their PC are more likely to be fans of PC games (i.e. first person shooters starring Gordon Freeman) than nintendo console franchises like mario or zelda. Console games just aren't being as vocal as they have been in the past (READ: biased survey). Many people who only game on their consoles are not voting and therefore an important sample population is being excluded. I'm sure if the poll were conducted on wii only or playstation 3 only, the results would be quite different.

So what did we learn?
........people who spend more time on their PCs prefer PC games (shocker I know)

Then can you explain how Link, Mario, Cloud or Snake nearly always wins in these type of poll's?

I'm thinking that a majority of the people who are supporting nintendo these days (who own a wii or a ds) are not choosing to troll forums or they aren't the type of people who create an account on a gaming website just so they can vote for their favorite characters. Either they're so happy playing games on their nintendo system that they aren't bothering to vote (me) or they're not choosing to express their opinion by that method. I'm just saying that alot of new nintendo fans aren't being counted because they either don't spend a lot of time on their PC voting for the best video game character, or they aren't aware of it's existence.

No.
