I find it weird how EA is the most disliked company here. I was expecting Nintendo to take this one, given how bad it's been doing in polls over the past year or so.

Anti-Nintendo fans are small and vocal. Though during 2005 Nintendo's hate was lower.

That poll was from April 2007. Also the question was who people thought was the most hated, not who they hated the most. Chances are, EA was still the most hated company at that time but Sony hate was a lot more vocal.

The hate towards EA could be explained through this poll:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3133

Note that Madden NFL won that poll and The Sims came in third place. I think the hate comes from users wanting those two franchises to die.

I think school starts back in some places tomorrow -- high schools in my area usually open the first day they can in August, so...maybe we'll see trends a little closer to the ASV than the rest of the summer has shown.

Square and Nintendo will probably be going at each other for a while before the deep night vote puts Nintendo out in front of Square again.

If you meant "first Tuesday" instead, then yes, the high schools in your area would start tomorrow. Otherwise, today is the first weekday in August.

Modern Warfare may just be a bigger FPS at GameFAQs than any of the Halo's.

Square only beat Nintendo by less than 100 votes in the whole world, so that's extremely close. Given Asia's dislike for Nintendo based on Geolocation results of the past 2 contests, I figured Nintendo would have a shot at finishing higher than Square.

I'm curious to see what Guitar Hero would've done before World Tour came out and it became reviled by the hardcore gaming community (though I think it still outsold RB2). Though it still probably would've sucked it up. One of those games that could get votes if nothing better was around, but would fold against a hardcore favorite.

Well, I'm not expecting it to challenge Brawl or anything like that (although I guess it'd probably be stronger than MGS4, so it wouldn't be extremely far off unless the game was just awful). I just wonder if FFXII ran a lot of fans off.
