Hype Report: GI

[MuGen]

I took the liberty of scanning this in for you guys to see... it's an interesting report...

[Dark Samurai]

No offense Strick, but I think thats fake...

[MuGen]

I get GI from GameStop every month now cuz I got their little card for used games... no offense strick, but I think you need glasses........

Oh... you do wear glasses............ then I dunno what to suggest.

[Dark Samurai]

Well soorry!

Its just that that didnt look "official" to me...

[MuGen]

Anything that doesn't place Nintendo on the top doesn't look official to you.

But I'll admit, i probably wouldn't have scanned it had PS3 not been on top....

There's no way those results are accurate, not from just 500 people. Right now, Halo 2 has spread like wildfire at my school, and the Xbox is hotter then sex. I guarantee you if they surveyed 500 males from my school, the Xbox would be the clear winner. One thing that's nice about surveys like that is they can pretty much bend the results as they please. Sure, if I went to inner city Chicago and talked to a bunch of poor black families, I'm sure all of them would say that we need more money for welfare. On the other hand, if I went to a rich white neighborhood, I'm sure they'd say just the opposite. That's a pretty bad example.....but 500 votes. Pffft.

[DarkMaster]

Why did they only survey 500 people?

[DarrenMcLeod]

I agree that 500 votes is not enough to call it a reliable survey, but I figure that if there was a better poll run with 100000000 voters, it would still look that way.

I'm most anticipating Revolution for the simple fact that I want to know what the so-called revolution is, but I'm pretty sure that the order the magazine placed them in is pretty close to accurate.

Also, is that an official XBox 360 logo? And official PS3 logo? I was hoping for new logos this time around...

Thats why polls choose random people. if you want to poll and see how many people like ice cream, you dont go into an ice cream shop and poll them. you poll completely random people.

technically, as long as they're completely random, it wouldnt really matter how many people were polled. the results should stay in the same basic area.

[MuGen]

Darren, I'm pretty sure the ps3 will be like that. And the Xbox 360 logo looks official cuz I haven't seen that X globe before, especially since it's called 360 now....the globe and everything....

I think they slapped together that revolution logo.

[Null]

playstation logo has always been and prolly will continue to be the colorful PS
and they prolly will continue to write PS3 the way they wrote PS2, i dont really consider that a logo tho.

the xbox one i believe is completely fake. and i dont even think nintendos name will be anything close to 'revolution'


but we'll see.

[Bond]

Some polls are totally inaccurate and worthless. This is one of them.

[Null]

honestly, im not seeing how its so much inaccurate, just from going around message boards and websites, that totally reflects the feeling of what people are excited to learn more about.



However, i think i have the answer as to why its only 500 people. thats how many people read the magazine.

[The Duggler]

That thing doesn't look like it was scanned at all.

[Canyarion]

Looks more like someone took a digital picture of it.
