I was never a fan of Microsoft but when they announced the kinectless Xbox one I knew I made the right choice in not supporting their consoles. Why would I want to buy a console where the producer may just abandon it because of poor sales. At least Nintendo has the balls to stay with something until the end.

Your comment was clearly sarcasm making fun of the people who said they "weren't interested" because the number was "only 732", jesting that "MS better pack up since they missed out on those 732 sales". Completely ignoring that if 732 people out of 927 say they are "not interested", that is statistically significant and something to take into consideration. 

It wasn't a tangent, it was a direct reply to your blatant mockery. Don't play dumb. If you don't care about the accuracy of the pole or the sample size, you wouldn't have made that comment, because in terms of statistics, 732 is a LARGE number and nothing to be scoffed at. The physical 732 may not mean much, but the statistical extrapolation behind that does mean something, and with a sample size as large as 927, that extrapolation means a lot. You say the numbers are "irrelevant" and "meaningless" because you probably think the total number surveyed "isn't that much" so the results don't mean anything, right? But you are wrong. 

And I said Gallup, in name, because it's the most recognizable. But if you clicked the link, you'd see that there are dozens of trackers there, Gallup amongst them, and guess what? They all used similar sample sizes, some larger some smaller. All of them are within 3-5% margin of error extrapolating to 200M registered voters. I could have just as easily said "Rasmussen" or "CNN Opinion Poll" or "Wall Street Journal" and my point would have still been the same. There was no "championing". I just used a familiar name. 

For starters, lulz @ you trying to tell someone what their own post meant.

Secondly, please take a break and Google tangent. Now that you know what it means, yes, you quoted my post and went off on one. There are a few posts you could quote in the thread and rant away, mine was not one.

Lastly, you can bicker and defend statistics all you want, I am not trashing the article based on sample size. There are numerous problems with the pool of people they polled, no matter how big the sample size was. If I go to a gun convention and poll 2500 people about gun laws, it wouldn't make much sense for me to take that data and then say 95% of Americans believe we should be able to openly carry guns and blah blah. Furthermore, the issue is less with the poll and results themselves and more with the ridiculous title of the thread.

But feel free to continue arguing with yourself, since you sure aren't debating anything I have said in the posts you're quoting.
