Charlie Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Let's change this! 49.36% of people think that the controller will be shite! http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4251720.stm?dynamic_vote=ON#vote_news_nintendo_16_09_05 Vote a lot of times now!
dabookerman Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 haha, this is the bbc we are talking about
RATM_4_EVA Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 that article is not even in depth enough to give a review
MunKy Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 The link takes you to the page after you vote. This is the one http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4251720.stm? Hit 50.69% Miss 49.31% 18329 Votes Cast
Link Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Most people are voting without even knowing the true capabilities of the device. They just see a remote and pass it off as crap!
Flame Alchemist Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 More than 30% of the people who says it will be a miss are Soniers... I already vote
Hal_9Million Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 It's gone the other way, just. But I really don't see it as a valid poll. Have you read the vagueness of the article. No wonder it hasn't had more hits.
GoonFace Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 You guys are fighting a losing battle. There are probably Sony and Microsoft employes pressing vote, clearing their cookies and then voting again.
Sarka Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 WE are fighting a WINNING battle. I hope this is on Newsround tomorrow!
Minlack Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Newsround always snubs anything Nintendo. I recall many an occasion when in the past I've seen them bad mouthing Nintendo to our nations youth. Some people are just stupid.
dabookerman Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 newsround will talk about the controller, and then talk about recycling bottles in reading
mario114 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 There poll on whats the best handheld console made me laugh, only 3% voted for the ds, and like 70% on the psp, it didn't quite match the opion of gamers.
monkeyDluffy Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 24014 votes so far and 50.20% HIT and 49.80% MISS, just thought I'd update it. EDIT: also noticed another poll for the next gen consoles: 56495 votes 51.69 PS3, 30.42% 360 and 17.89 for rev, only the bbc though.
Haver Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 You guys are fighting a losing battle. There are probably Sony and Microsoft employes pressing vote, clearing their cookies and then voting again. I'm going to pop that in my signature, you're brilliant!
demonmike04 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I saw this the other day, miss was at like 60% BBC should realy go into detail, but hey, the media is messed like that.
Ashley Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I find it amusing that theres a pic of an Xbox 360 and a link to its own news story half way down a story on the Revolution. The xbox 360 is mentioned in a small paragraph at the bottom but theres another pic near it where it could have gone.
Holly Golightly Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 The BBC suck when it comes to games. There just doesn't seem to be anyone there who has a passion for it and instead just reports what they think people want. Channel 4's teletext gaming thing is where the passion's at. The BBC one is total and utter shite.
Retro_Link Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I placed my 'hit' vote and it now stands at; Hit - 50.27% Miss - 49.73% 24569 votes They also have an artice about; "Expensive gaming; cost of making next generation games set to soar" Hopefylly this is where Nintendo will have an advantage; people can produce simple yet extremely fun games if they choose, the Rev will appeal to smaller developers because of this, plus it should be the easiest console to develop for and thus saving development times/cost!
dabookerman Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 does it really matter? you do realise the bbc is full of people that go "do u lyk sims2 its wicked!!!!" yes sims 2 is great and all, but wicked?
Tyson Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Does it even mention the controller extension?
Chanser Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Rigged I think, BBC suck up to MS or Sony too much.
christophicus Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 quick update. Hit 50.30% Miss 49.70% 24757 Votes Cast
Kurtle Squad Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah...the BBC always have shit reports and stuff. I bet most anti-voters are just PS/XB fanboys or dont realise about the SHELL!!!! I wish people would pay attention.
