I would be interested in seeing the non-duplicate polling results. And I’m not sure I’d say this site is “vastly majority Nintendo.” It is much more of an even split between Nintendo & everyone else. (ofc im speaking as the person with a Majora’s Mask pfp lol so maybe im not the most reliable person on this matter.)

Oh, the polling is not account based, huh. Does it reset with non static IP addresses or what?

See Axum’s newest post here. Seems that ~51% plan on pre-ordering, ~82% plan on purchasing (period).

Got mine at GameStop in-store. Tried getting it at Best Buy since they had a zero-interest 12-month financing deal I could take advantage of, but BB's pre-order process was broken. So I showed up at GameStop at like 8:30 and I was like third in line.

Every time I go to buy one, it sells out within seconds. I’m just going to get one at Christmas instead of going through this farce.

The poll was altered but the numbers weren't reset?

(?) I don’t believe the poll was ever altered, judging off the comments on this forum.

The poll was not altered. Not sure where that was coming from. When a poll is created in a Thread, it uses registered vgc users. When a poll is on the front page, it allows for anonymous votes. That is just showing the difference between what is logged in and what is anonymous as far as voting goes.

I thought that's what Girevush was referring to, my bad. Is there a way to track how many doublicates are polled, people getting the console are far more likely to dupe the poll numbers than those not interested.

Girevush sounds cool.



...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.

Dammit, Firebush. My phones keyboard has a life of it's own, it auto corrects me to such stupid stuff that doen't even resemble word sometimes. 



Did it the old fashion way. stood in line at Gamestop. The best way. I have a feeling those who preordered the Switch 2 for shipping are in for a nightmare.
