As with most people when they make assumptions about somethings popularity over another is they ignore half of the population of the world. You will be very hard pressed to find a female that would understand the pop culture reference as you call it "finish him" or others in a very much male genre game. So while many, not as many as you think, males might know this reference, that is only half the population. I can guarantee you that neither of my sisters would have a clue what I was referencing if I go "finish him". They would look at me all weird, like why did you say finish him in this weird voice. I show them a picture of Link and they would probably recognize it. |
My apologies, your sisters as a sample size puts to rest this entire argument. My bad
At the end of the day, like I said previously, there's no way to accurately measure brand recognition without market research. Everything said in this thread thus far has been anecdotal (yes even myself).
