If the LFF hurts PS3 enough, I think PC's still a strong contender to win before the 3DS. Still, I think PS3 won't have much problem SFFing PS4 enough to win it.

I would totally get the 2DS if it looked like the 3DS just without the 3D and cheaper
Of course they had to make it look different because otherwise people would confuse them I guess
I don't use the 3D feature..ever...but can't fold? no thanks (and im not even taking it outside,I only play at home)

I just looked at the previous SotY poll and forgot how well the PC did last year.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/4963

If the PC can pull off that kind of performance this year, it may be enough to win SotY if the LFF is brutal enough to hurt PS3 and 360. Although with the 360, I think there will be some backlash just because 2013 has been such a terrible year for Microsoft.

Vita ownership has risen to 25.68%, exactly 5% higher than the previous Vita poll.

PS4 ownership has risen to 16.66%. After the European launch of the PS4, the PS4 has gained very little ownership during the month of December so far. I guess this suggests that finding a PS4 in stores is quite difficult right now.

Positive spin: Xbox One has higher ownership than the Playstation 3 after Christmas in 2006.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/2612


Negative spin: Xbone currently has less ownership today than the Wii U had on its release-day last year.

Xbox One is now up to 7.47% ownership. Only 0.10% below the Wii U's launch day ownership last year.

Today, Wii U is currently at 32.33% ownership right now.

The world already burned last contest (and when Bacon said his goal is to imitate contests with finals like Launchpad McQuack vs. Albert Einstein).

I would just rather have the flames be polka-dotted.

lol that typo.


Anyways, by the end of the contest I hope Allen realized that he shouldn't allow League of Legends in the games contest even if the game gets 50,000+ nominations (by reddit).

I'm reading through stats topics from the GOTD contest, and I am immensely amused by the Melee/Brawl vitriol and the Zeldadrone debates. This is really pumping up my antipathy toward Brawl.

I do not want to see FAQ or Review of the Year again. Review of the Year set a new record when it comes to pathetic polls, even worse than the 2011 Mobile GotY poll. It broke 10000 votes with about 25 minutes left to vote.

Also, our vote totals have gotten much worse over the past year, so a Review of the Year poll would get under 10000 votes if we have it again.

As I said in another topic on Board 8, Zelda is still a portable game, which makes it extremely difficult to rise above the status quo of "console games always win GotY on GameFAQs". Mario Kart DS has the best performance of any handheld game in the GotY polls, finishing 3rd overall in 2005.

It's still possible that there will be a "Downloadable Game" poll which features Phoenix Wright in it.

Pokemon ends the first hour with a 21 vote lead on ALBW. Still a toss-up right now.

Based on the vote totals so far, we will probably get around 25000 to 28000 votes today.

Pokemon has proven to be the most independent fanbase of Nintendo so that probably hurts Zelda a bit.

The night vote probably helps Pokemon more than Zelda, considering that Pokemon is crushing Zelda in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and several major countries in Asia.

And yeah, the lead has been slowly dropping. Zelda hasn't even managed to cut off 50 votes from Pokemon's maximum lead with this morning vote so far.
