There is no confident way to datamine fan opinion on a video game, random, sufficient or accurate.  What you're asking for does not exist; the only way to back up any kind of opinion like this is by knowing what the opinion of the game is as a whole.  That is done by the way I have stated in my previous posts.  You are aware of what fan opinion of SS is, with the majority completely disagreing with major reviewers.  Not everything needs a citation, professor.

"There is no confident way to datamine fan opinion on a video game, random, sufficient or accurate."

So there's no way to get accurate data to support your opinion, but you're still going to tell me it's true.  XD

"That is done by the way I have stated in my previous posts."

You mean by talking to your friends, and looking at comments on reviews?  Lulz. Just so happens I've also been on message boards, talked to friends, and read comments and the majority of people really liked Skyward Sword.  So it appears we are at an impasse.

"You are aware of what fan opinion of SS is, with the majority completely disagreing with major reviewers. "

Nope.  I absolutely am not aware of this.  In fact, my observations show just the opposite.  But, I don't assume that my limited information actually represents "the majority".  Cause I'm smart enough to know about things like sampling methods, the unreliability of anecdotal evidence, confirmation bias, and about how evidence and reason work in general.  So, I'm smart enough to know that presenting my observations as some sort of objective fact would make me look quite foolish.  That's why they call me "professor" :).

Do you have any evidence of the majority of people liking Skyward Sword?  Do you have any resaerch or sampling methods to back your statement?    

I never presented anything I've said about Skyward Sword as fact.  Hopefully you are smart enough to know you imagined this.
