If they had over 10,000 Receipts showing one or the other winning, This is actually a pretty large poll and I wouldn't expect it to be over 5% error, maybe 10% from that poll. However I'm not sure what there actual sample size was, obvious the bigger the better.

It's no more accurate than an internet poll, and internet polls can be notoriously innacurate with way more than a 10% error. A 5% error is a not too bad error from a well designed poll, and this is not a well designed poll. Apparently last year they had 1500 console hardware receipts, from something like 120K receipts over all, and that would have included handhelds. If they received 185K total receipts this time that's a ~50% increase in number of receipts, so the console hardware sample size might be 2200-2500. Also the samples are exclusively limited to Target and Walmart. So while they may be a reasonable approximation of console sales for those two retailers it would be wrong to extraoplate that to be a credible reflection of all retailers.  


Oh it's only to Wal-mart and Target, Well it can go anyway. Bestbuy plays a huge role.  I can say my bestbuy had 2 xbox ones and about 10 ps4's. However that's one in a sea of besbuys.

however I took my buddy to get a xbox one. So it was down to 1 when we left. You can't find sunset or the Advanced Warfare Bunduru anywhere. We looked.

Actually, Best buy has close to 1/10th of the locations Walmart has.
