Hey!

I think you keep messing up my votes edit. I put Pandora's Tower at #2, and SMT X Fire Emblem at #3, yet the only votes for these two games got 1 and 4 points respectively. That means to you took my Pandora's Tower as #5 and my Fire Emblem as #2.

Didn't you get my message about the edit?


P.S. As for X-Bots. I'm not specifically a microsoft fan, but I appear to like the more then most people on this site. That said, 360 has nothing special to offer. After Gears of War, all that's releasing on the 360 are 3rd party games. MS is putting all their money on Nextbox games. So when they announce the Nextbox and some games, expect a jump in MS votes. However, don't expect too many, this website is dominated by Nintendo and Sony fans, and people like me who initially liked Microsoft have kind of turned away after their shady practices, and adondonment of hardcore gamers.

P.P.S. Vita has more appearances, points and votes then 3DS?!?!?! That says something about the VGC community. I don't think it accuratly represents the opinions of the general public.

Sorry about that. I don't know what it is about your ballots that keeps throwing me off. It's weird, because when I double check everybody else's, I think I do a decent job. Huh.

I don't know what to think of Microsoft's NextBox strategy. They abandoned the hardcore for the casual, which I understand, but according to the rumors, the Nextbox has 8 GB of RAM and is only slightly weaker than the PS4. Does a casual audience really need 8 GB of RAM? Hell, I honestly think Gen 8 should have limited itself to 4 GB of RAM, considering the slow start of the HD twins in 2005 through 2008.

As for the Vita, it has a major fanbase around these parts, even besides the general PlayStation fandom. Plus, Sony has done a better job highlighting upcoming games than Nintendo has. Fans are already hyped about games such as Tearaway and Killzone, months before they're coming out. And Soul Sacrifice is coming out in April, so this is its high point in hype. Nintendo, on the other hand, has nothing major until June, when Animal Crossing comes out, and only two announced titles for the second half of the year, the highly anticipated yet mysterious  Pokemon X/Y and the equally mysterious Mario & Luigi 4.

As Soul Sacrifice comes out this month, that alone could push the 3DS ahead. Failing that, a few announced localizations from 3rd parties (Monster Hunter 4, Bravely Default, Dragon Quest 7, etc.) and the seemingly inevitable Zelda 3DS announcement (plus Kirby 3D) should push Nintendo far ahead come this E3.
