The reason I bought it up is exactly that I haven't been hiding under a rock, and I have seen exactly the same response regardless of the console in question and it tends to follow the ups and downs of the various consoles, like on here during the PS4 reign the X box conversation diminished compared to the  360 days and now it  is having a upswing polls and also down votes reflect this too, so there's swings and roundabouts and polls should be taken with a pinch of salt especially here, so what I'm getting at is it can be easy to fall into a persecution complex when the truth is it happens across all sectors ,so its better to acknowledge that without needing to put a random figure on one part of it.

I agree with you, I see it swinging up but it does not really making any impact yet.

if you have a poll saying, which console you own, or which game do you prefer (overall), then it is expected to be on the Sony side, and the data is actually valid cause the market share is just that. And this would be a good poll.

But I think you very naive to believe that you can have any polls asking "Xbox owners only please" to vote and expect it to be accurate or even close. It won't and esp. in those forums; because all the console wars people will vote for the worse result. That's a no brainer and there is no "persecution" complex; it is just reality right now. 

Another thing to consider is that the majority of Xbox enthusiast on this website, only post, read and vote in Ryu's thread cause the majority of any other Xbox related thread or news (positive ones...) will become a shit show after a while and this thread is the only place when we can actually talk freely without having to deal with fanboy hating the console they do not own for some reason. There are other websites, forums that are more balanced, VGChartz is not... At all.

That being said, yah, this may change for this generation at some point, but we are not close to be there :)  

I don't see myself being naïve, just that I take polls for what they are interesting titbits not to be taken to seriously especially on here, and getting back to the reason we are even discussing them, my original comment wasn't me advocating for a Poll but rather a continuation of years of me shit stirring  d21lewis in this case by accusing him of not having a poll because he was to stupid to make one but at the same time telling him to make one while providing him with pol questions that could only prove me right. to the last point there is bias on all sides but remember if you see through it it shouldn't affect you and doesn't matter so we including myself should be careful not to fall into the trap of overstating that bias lest it be seen as a persecution complex.
