This is really a discussion for another thread, as we have drifted far from N64 vs PS1.

Ultimately, the numbers speak for themselves; if the left ran the country we wouldn't the right-leaning LNP in power, and if VGC was dominated by Nintendo fans, this poll wouldn't be neck and neck.

The right (actually closer to the centre than right) only run the country because people were tired of labour's ineptitude. People always flock to one or the other after a couple of cycles. But that doesn't mean that the actual people in power aren't left leaning.

But on topic, theoretically, the ration of PS1 owners vs N64 owners would be 4:1. So, right off the bat, the vote should have been a landslide. Now, of those who owned both, I think it is fair to say that on average, the PS1 would be picked as the one with the better library. For the vote to be so close there must be an disproportionately high number of Nintendo fans. I think the few unbiased ones/fans of both or multiple votes tipped the scale in the PS1's favour.

But someday someone will post a topic asking to list their favourite systems and we'll know a more accurate number.

Your mistake there is correlating the general population with a website of gaming enthusiasts. VGC represents a hardcore niche, not the masses.
And again, you're still treating your own position as normal/neutral and failing to account for the fact that your own bias is skewing your perspective. A vote for PS1 is not any more objective or valid than a vote for N64, both are equally valid subjective opinions.
