There is a saying about statistics.

when I was kid, this type of "rating" didn't exist I believe lol

but, yeah, I also played mature game ... but they were monstruously less realistic !!!

'News' organizations such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox and Magazines such as People, Time, Life and etc poll people weekly.  And their numbers are clearly cited every time.  They usually range between 500-5000.  Its impossible to have polls above that or else you get into 'cencus' territory which takes an entire company to run and in itself becomes inaccurate because there's too many variables.

In my opinion however, polls are kind of broken (and stupid) on both ends of the spectrum.  Kind of like elections.  The only real way to know the populations option is to ask every single person their feelings and put up a list of the top 5 answers.  Not ask people a list of 20 questions and put up a pie chart and say 'we have a definitive answer of peoples views' (as places like CNN and gamefaws seems to do every day).

not suprising their lineup isnt a big lineup this year for the 360, like holiday's past. i think with natal and the right marketing and games the 360 could be at the top or near it, come holiday 2010.

Ironic so many 'core' 360 fans are focusing on Natal being the savior of the 360 after knocking the Wii all this time for its Motion controls.  Not pointing at you, but just in general.

A survey is a survey.. Why so defensive?

i didn't have such a bad taste when i was as kid... i liked first gen pokemon. and dragon ball Z

Everything is better when you're 12 years old.

....but when the kids of today look back at their childhood and realize they spent their time playing Halo and WoW, watching 'Adult Swim' and Insurance Commercials and listening to Recycled music from the 90s....I wonder if they'll feel their childhood was as 'Nostalgia' as the rest of us.
