Another example of polls not reflecting reality as anyone know GTA 5 will sell double the amount expected for the next Zelda.


It's as I mentioned many times on here (and other places, people don't seem to get it), there's always a bias in polling and statistics.  This is a very clearly biased poll if it were to reflect sales of the individual games in question.  #1 is that this is on a website with a limited demographic #2 it is on the web, a medium not everyone uses #3 it is 100% optional, a large portion of the population that sees the poll will not vote and therefore are not accounted for.


No one should ever use polling on this site (or any) to determine how sales will compare.

The same should apllied to GTA 4 cause there were some nintendo fans choosing Zelda just because GTA 4 were a boring game for them but they don't mention that skyward sword experienced the same feeling for some gamers judging by comments and the sales.


I'm not entirely sure why you're talking to me about GTA 4, I was just making a general argument that poll results are never to be trusted if you want to translate them to sales figures.  I mean, this obviously applies to any case that it happens.  There could be a coincidence in correlation, but it will never be decisive. 


Sorry, wrong quote.
