Samus may have been in the first match this contest, but she hasn't
been in a relatively high vote match since 2004...what happened? --- Commit it to memory. |

The vast majority of Xbox owners don't own a Halo game. Are you serious? Statistics show that approximately 50% of people who own an Xbox own a Halo game. --- sig your as this use backwards this read to enough dumb were you if |

Sprite >> Navi as far as Link sidekicks are concerned! Sprite rocks! I wish she could be in this contest. I was always disappointed in Link for being obsessed with Zelda and not just doing it with Sprite. Vast majority? In't it like 8 million/23 million consoles or something? Something like that. You don't consider 2/3 a vast majority? Samus may have been in the first match this contest, but she hasn't been in a relatively high vote match since 2004...what happened? A lot of her matches have been SFF matches. In fact, her 5 matches have been: Yuri, 3 SFF matches, and Frog. CT isn't normally a huge vote draw either, so it's understandable that there hasn't been anything impressive. Metroid/Pokemon was pretty great even despite being an SFF match. I'm sure that Samus/Tifa and Samus/Crono can do great too. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Something like that. You don't consider 2/3 a vast majority? Well, if that's the case then SSBM has pathetic ownership. I mean, it's only owned by like what... 25% of Gamecube owners? Terrible... --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Halo/Halo 2's ownership ratio to XBox owners is godlike. Sure, it's not
even close to 50%, but I can think of maybe ONE game that even
approaches that number. --- Commit it to memory. |

Yuna getting more individual votes than Samus is funny. It helps that Samus's match was on a weekday, too. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

With this subject up, I gotta ask something I've wondered: does anybody
have the sales or stats of the best-selling game of each major system,
then are able to see what percentage of system-owners had it by their
sales? I understood that, before Halo 2, that SM64 had the highest ownership percentage...but I was curious for all the other systems as well. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

The N64 only sold 33 million? Wow, and looking at the sales of the SNES
and NES... The Playstation really DID expand the video game industry.
Or are those just a bunch of replacement sales? I DID have to buy
another PS1... <_< --- Vote for Soma Cruz Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

hmmm.. I have a funny feeling Joanna is going to just blow Cortana out
of the water. I guess comparing her to Kerrigan works, and she's 55/45
assuming no SFF. if she gets SFF'd like Ness does, she's a lot
stronger. I could see this going something like 65/35 no problem. ..yet, I'm still worried. I don't feel comfortable with Cortana. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

PSP -- 11 million / GTA: LCS -- 3 million It's something like that. The PSP is a rough estimate, but it should be accurate within a million or so either way. --- "Master using it and you can have this." http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/160/masterjg3.jpg |

Joanna = Conker ain't too bad of a comparison...Conker's fans are a bit
more hardcore thanks to CBFD, but in terms of games Perfect Dark >
everything Conker's in COMBINED, and PDZ is comparable to CBFD's
remake... Heh, that makes me comfy with Joanna now. Kinda wish I'd gone a bit higher. <_< --- Commit it to memory. |

I've been that way the entire contest. I used to try and get the first
vote, but now I just wait a while and watch the opening minutes. I'll be curious to see if Cortana gets a day vote... this sure looks like a 65/35 affair though. --- iddqd "MY SLEEPING PATTERNS ARE SHOT THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FANFICTION" -windmage |

Cortana's definitely getting stomped right now...perhaps I should put
my foot in my mouth now, but I'll wait until the day-vote and see what
happens with that. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

This whole female bracket has been pretty boring save for one match. It
should get a bit better in round 2 with most of the crap weeded out,

Joanna dropped a little, now that bracket voting is wearing off. She'll
probably drop off a little more over the next couple of minutes. I
don't know how the night vote will go. Cortana will probably "win" the day vote, although I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't anything major.
