I'm surprised Zelda is actually winning such a poll, even here on VGC. That said, you could have even picked a lesser game than Zelda and I'd still pick that. GTA is not 'bad', and I reckognize the quality and value in those games, but there's a lot of series that I think are way better.

Needless to say, Zelda.

i'm not surprised. all the super famous third party games are not really beloved on vgchartz. cod, gta, the elder scrolls, sport games like fifa, bf and so on. they all have a few fans here but nothing more.

Another example of polls not reflecting reality as anyone know GTA 5 will sell double the amount expected for the next Zelda.

I would be highly surprised if it was less than quadruple, and if Wii U sales don't pick up enough by the time the next Zelda releases it could reach over 6 times just on PS360... I believe there were rumours of GTA releasing on PS4/XB1/WiiU too (though the latter seems highly unlikely and I haven't heard much evidence for the former two)

It's as I mentioned many times on here (and other places, people don't seem to get it), there's always a bias in polling and statistics.  This is a very clearly biased poll if it were to reflect sales of the individual games in question.  #1 is that this is on a website with a limited demographic #2 it is on the web, a medium not everyone uses #3 it is 100% optional, a large portion of the population that sees the poll will not vote and therefore are not accounted for.


No one should ever use polling on this site (or any) to determine how sales will compare.

The same should apllied to GTA 4 cause there were some nintendo fans choosing Zelda just because GTA 4 were a boring game for them but they don't mention that skyward sword experienced the same feeling for some gamers judging by comments and the sales.

zelda, problem is I don't plan to buy a Wii-U at the moment. so I will probably end up p[aying GTAV instead. Even though I'm not a huge fan of the series aside form San Andreas

Zelda can get only 2 repeat playthroughs, but GTA, I've never beat any cause I can enjoy messing around for hundreds of hours, I love Zelda but firstly, you can't base it off of a Zelda video that you don't actually play and GTA has endless value, multiplayer and they said online will be expanded more, so honestly anyone saying Zelda must hate on GTA


LMAO, I'm assuming, I love how people wanna try put words in my mouth. Understanding is key to a rebuttal, which you failed to do, so try again.

 

 

 

WTF, okay now you are wasting my time, I said Nintendo Only Fans for a reason. Why would I get offended by you saying SS over GTAIV? They were both overrated and dissappointing to me. Also, what's wrong with a assumption, inventions are based off assumptions, Zelda was made based off a assumption that people would enjoy it. Am I correct? Why are you getting so butthurt for lol.

 

Did I ever say that wasn't a possibility, or even that the GTA choice for everyone was the same as mine? That's the problem with your logic, you are now contradicting yourself Lol, now you wanna assume. Let me say this, you guys are here making a assumption of what I think because I make a assumption that is partially right. Then have have a issue with me assuming, when this debate came from a rebuttal that was a assumption. Kinda defeats the purpose,  don't you think? Again I love Legend of Zelda, one of my all time favourite series, hell I like Zelda quite a bit more then GTA, I even own 7 Zelda games and own no GTA (did 4 but didn't like much, but San Andreas and Vice City was destroyed by my Cousins). 


Bolded, Underlined, Italics.  You try to sound like you're smart, but you clearly don't even know the meaning of what you're even saying.  

Let me clear it up for you on why you got jumped on.  You made a statement of absolutes.  You said "anyone" which automatically puts it in the absolute, and reinforced it with the word "must."  This is basic English 101/102 stuff here.  It makes for a poor argument when you use those kinds of words.  Assumptions exist everywhere, but there's a difference between reckless assumption and informed assumptions.  Yours is the former.

So you clearly lack the ability to understand something simple. You interperate my comment the way you like, and try argue with me what the meaning of it is? Stop wasting my time, I understand everything, you just lack the ability to understand, and clearly got butthurt for no reason. Go cry if you like, I don't care, but don't try tell me what I'm saying. If you can't understand words are used in different contexts, you should keep off the internet. I'm acting like I'm smart, but apparently you are here trying to have a debate about what I said... LMFAO, just stop. If I wanted, I can just sit here and show you all your fails, but you don't seem to understand anything, interperate the way you like, just don't have no reply to me saying what you think I am. You can't complain about someone's assumption by making assumptions, then think you are making a valid point. Contradiction written all over that. If I got a reply saying, "bad wording" or "I don't hate GTA but I'd pick Zelda" I'd have no problem with that, everyone has a opinion. But to try put words in my mouth... No, I love my Zelda and have plenty of Zelda games, and what I did to get OoT3D when it released too.

players who care to enter in this forum(probably are players who like games more) prefer zelda.
but GTAV will sell 5 times more.
so zelda is for core gamers, GTA is for every gamer

Who would have thunk that Zelda is a hardcore-er game than GTA?

 

And who is creating fake accounts to post just once time, and casually, in favor of GTA?

Tough choice. On one hand both are old IPs that have been around a while, GTA is a bit younger, however while Zelda seems to take a few steps forward, GTA seems to be taking steps back since SA. I will own them both as long as GTA comes to PC where it can be modded into a better game. Guess I will go with Zelda as it would be the first in HD

I'm not entirely sure why you're talking to me about GTA 4, I was just making a general argument that poll results are never to be trusted if you want to translate them to sales figures.  I mean, this obviously applies to any case that it happens.  There could be a coincidence in correlation, but it will never be decisive.

I have a feeling you only read some of what I said because I made no such claims about you.  I analyzed what you said and came to the conclusion as to why people were responding to you in such a manner.  The fact that you're saying I'm not "understanding" simply shows you didn't comprehend what I was telling you.  

Also, all of your "threats" about showing me all of my "fails" are completely empty and baseless. I would love to see you try, but I already know you wont be able to do it.
