Nielsens arguably more credible than NPD. Can't say there's much really in this info graphic that's surprising though |
this article is nonsense, as if realistically Call of Duty and Battlefield would poll EXACTLY the same percentage. its absurd.
This is one of those articles they are hoping to get clicks with, its not something thoroughly researched enough to matter. They didn't even ask a fraction of the gaming population to vote realistically

What's nonsense is anecdotal evidence from forums and YouTube. The mass market behaves WAY differently than what the general opinions are around here. How many people do you see talk about CoD in a positive light, pretty much for the past few years? Contrast that against CoD sales, which shockingly appear to defy the consensus you'd find of the vocal minority on the Internet. I'm not saying that this info graphic of games has anything to do with quality, but it seems like a pretty obvious list of games you'd find the average consumer to be looking at these holidays.
The sample size is weak though. Agree with you there. And anyway, it's hard to call anything from Nielsen click bait when they are the de facto tv viewer metering company for the US and like, a shit ton of other countries so that's got to count for something. At the very least I take this with more credibility than somewhere like new zoo.
