I did look that up FYI. I also saw two problems with the data.  #1 it said AMERICAN CONSUMERS. #2 the difference was 1%, and there's ALWAYS a margin of error. 

Oh, and my anecdote was not meant to be proof, idiot. It was simply to serve the point that pacman isn't as big as you're making it. My internet is down so I can't reply to you fully right now. 

No need for petty insults. 

I do understand there is a margin of error,  but it goes both ways.  If the margin of error is 3%, which is probably normal, sure Mario could be ahead by 2 %, but he could also be behind 4%.   So margin of error means nothing really.   

All of your posts are condescending not only to me, but to pretty much anyone who doesn't share your answer.  

The thing is that the statistic seemed to be counting only Americans and only "consumers," which could easily be only people who play video games.  That in itself skews the data.  When we count people who don't even play games or are not these "consumers" I doubt more of them know pacman.  I do know Pacman is popular, but simply knowing how much Mario is seen outside of gaming compared to Pacman gives Mario the definitive advantage.
