Xbox fans, Y U No Vote?

Most Wanted is a fun thread every month. I enjoy reading through it.

Whatever the size of the Microsoft fanbase on VGChartz, it is still significantly under-represented in Salnax's threads every month. So it's nice to see him going out there trying to canvas a few more votes. While I suppose I do understand this defeatist "why bother?" attitude, it's not like there's particularly any merit to one machine winning the monthly vote. It just gives a nice overview of what the community is looking forward to on each platform.

So yeah. Go vote!

Thanks for the endorsement!

Going off of what you said about the defeatist attitude, there's more to the vote than just your platform winning. There are games like Grand Theft Auto 5 that only won in past month thanks to support from people voting for the 360 version. The same principle applies to games like Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, and even games like Watch Dogs, in that they wouldn't have done so well with just PlayStation, Nintendo, and PC support.

And then there are publishers, who are also represented independently of platform. Feeling excited about EA's efforts on the Xbox One like Battlefield, Star Wars: battlefront 3, Mirror's Edge 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Titanfall? Vote for some of them. At very worst, their appearing on the monthly results reminds people that they exist and ultimately does no harm.

But even then, it's not really about your favorite games or whatever winning. If it were, I would have been very disappointed back in the Janurary edition when the PS3 got about twice as many points as my beloved Nintendo platforms combined. It's about learning about people on VGChartz, getting an indicator of our levels of hype, and plain old messing around with tables, charts, and graphs on a website called VGChartz.
