Why must so many people here think so narrowly?
You should look again at your choice of words, it has NOTHING to do with your "thinking."
And Pacman isn't seen outside of gaming as much as Mario is, especially now. Pacman is more or less a relic than he was over a decade ago. Of course he still exists, but you have to be joking yourself if you think pacman is being advertised in and out of gaming more than Mario is currently.
So, the real issue here is that if we assume that the proportion of how many people know pacman over mario is the same everywhere as it is in America, then there's really no telling for sure if pacman or mario is more recognizable. What you were saying is that there is no doubt it's pacman and anyone who thinks differently is wrong. The data you're pulling from doesn't necessarily say that.
Also, whenever a source says it comes from a poll, you have to question whether or not that poll had statistical bias within the data. It's something even professionals have trouble with.

I have been asking myself the same question for each of your replies to me.
Even now Mario isnt as relevant as he used to be, I would argue that currently Pikachu is more recognized specifically for the under 13 crowd . Maybe 10 years ago it was Mario.
And they way they did the poll was they showed gamings most iconic characters. And you had to select the ones you recoginized. Pretty simple poll. Don't see how there could be much in the way of bias. But if thats how you want to discredit it.

Have you even taken a statistics class in your life? It sounds like you haven't considering you didn't understand what I meant by "bias." Go ahead and google "statistical bias" and read up on what you find. You'll see what I mean.

Yes I have, and I know what it means. And I stand by what i said.
Now you are attacking my education. Brilliant.
Is there anything else you would like to question of mine? My spelling or grammar perhaps? Maybe my choice of music?

This poll was about who was the most recognizable, you admit that 10 years ago the big face would be Mario in the under 13 year olds? well okie then do you think everyone who was 13 years old 10 years ago has died since? I think you'll find they're infact 23 and will still recognize who Mario
