I told you it wasn't overwhelmingly Nintendo fans. The reason so much of the discussion on VGChartz right now is around Nintendo is cos they just showed off their new console, so naturally that's the hot topic of the moment. 

Personally, I was surprised the PC crowd is so heavily represented, but then I don't visit the PC forum often so it makes sense I'd be out of touch with that aspect of the site.

I find it so strange that Zelda won that poll with this distribution. I mean it does go back the longest and it includes OoT which wins nearly every poll even if it were polling the best use of the colour green in a video game or something stupid. It's not baffling but surprising for it to dominate amongst those franchise so heavily. 

Not that surprising. PC gamers are the same percentage as Nintendo in your poll. PC gamers also like Nintendo games (plus there are many emulators) and there are magnitudes more PC games than Nintendo games, so votes for PC games will always be more spread out.

You got 36% voting between the top Nintendo franchises (which have remained stable since the 90s) vs 36% voting between 40 years of all games.

Now in the real world there are 1.86 Billion PC gamers (Steam 132 million), XBox claims 200 million active users, 150 million Switches sold and 129 million monthly PSN users. Oh and 3.4 billion mobile phone gamers.

It all overlaps a bit of course
