No. 

What I am saying is that sometimes hype about a product will cause it to sell big.  Other times really, really good marketing will cause a product to fly off the shelf. 

My point is, sales do not always mean a product is better than the competition. 

I can tell you because of personal ownership experience that a Bentley Continental GT is a much better vehicle than a Honda Accord.  But the Honda Accord sells much better.... why?  The price of a Honda is much cheaper, therefore it will naturally sell better.  More people can afford the quality of a Honda Accord, and most people can't afford a Bentley.

What does this mean?  It means that just because a company sells more units, doesn't make it a better product.

Economic plays a large role in what makes a product sellable.  Hype and marketing often make a product sell more as well.  I know a thing or two about marketing because I spend a lot marketing my own company everyday.  We aren't the largest, nor do have the best pricing out there, but people use us because our guarantee is untouchable and the marketing scheme I sanction gives our customers the impression that we are the end-all of our industry.

Does that mean we are the best at what we do?  No, but we do a good enough job of convincing people that we do to make us the #2 provider of such services in the U.S.

Image is everything.

I'd selected the next Nintendo console.

Ok, I see what you mean. But I still don't think that a poll will prove anything. In fact, I still believe that the sales provide a better indicator of which console people prefer. You could say that consumers are voting with their wallets. A non-random, biased internet poll seems like a worse indicator to me.

Sony's first party is awesome, so PS4. They'll also release it cheaper and less flashy, the way a Sony console should be.

As for the handhelds, I'll wait and see. If Sony adds another analog stick to the PSP2, it's mine.

both Nintendo's console and handheld, no doubt.

PS4, I need BC for the whole PS family. If ps4 doesn't have BC, I'll have to wait and see.

Good, we don't always have to see eye-to-eye, as long as we understand the other person's point, sometimes that is good enough.

As for the poll, you are right, unless it's a scientific poll, it doesn't really mean much anyway... online polls generally tend to be way off anyway.

Not as far as I'm aware, and I've taken 3 semesters of Japanese. It could be some crazy slang word that I'm unaware of, but I doubt it.

ps4...i no longer trust microsoft

Why are you leaving gaming?
