Not suprised. LOOK how some people are reacting to the Xbox One DRM etc.
spoiler: gamers are shallow
will be interesting to see how this data translates into sales, but I really doubt it means anything
here's one from may '06 http://vgstrategies.about.com/od/videogamesurveyspolls/a/nextgenconsoles.htm
edit: my bad, i forgot to double check launch dates- the 360 had been out for half a year at this point
and the Wii & PS3 were still 6 months out.
I am voting with my money and preorderd a PS4 last week (eventhrough I really liked how Titanfall looked). I have 2 PS3's and 2 360s and 360 was my primary this generation. I'm trying to get back into my PS3 with The Last of us and but the DS3 controller left analog placement makes gaming painful (especially for first/3rd person shooters). I would be overjoyed if Sony announced a 1st party DS4 controller with the analog/Dpad switched, because my thumb is aching after only 3 hours of play with that DS3 torture device. I'd really like Sony to make one especially since the 3rd party "360like" PS3 controllers are horrible.
Sony should not change the core design of their controller just for the migration of Xbox gamers. DS3 is still better than the 360 controller other than how it feels to hold.

only 40,000 of the 150+ million console owners voted on this poll. It too is damn useless and doesn't mean shit.

Maybe MS gave Amazon a fat wad of cash to stop the poll early.
I know I would if my product bombed this hard on a poll in front of every Amazon customer.
Now look at the PS3 now. Beating the 360 in worldwide sales.

It quite eloquently shows that of pc gamers that are very into Call of Duty, only slightly more than half played modern warfare 2.
The people on that boycott list are all fans, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered joining.
Under normal circumstances that list would be all COD.
(for the record; I know very well the background of that picture and what it really is meant to signal.)

Is there a version of this picture showing the right half of the controller?I am voting with my money and preorderd a PS4 last week (eventhrough I really liked how Titanfall looked).

This picture is incredibly stupid. If you are unable to offset your thumb by an inch, then you have serious orthopedic and biomechanical issues. Also, the right stick is 'low'.I am voting with my money and preorderd a PS4 last week (eventhrough I really liked how Titanfall looked).

It's pretty disgusting but... my hands when completely relaxed rest on the design of Xbox 360's controller and this is only because that's what I've been playing on for the last 12 years (Xbox OG).@All
-Relax your muscles in your hands.
-Now put your hands in front of you, just like you'd hold a controller, but don't flex any muscles.
-Notice where your thumbs are.
Right symmetrical, next to each other - just like the DS does it.
The asymmetrical position is not natural. You forcefully have to alter your left thumb's position.
The PS controller is pretty bad. It's so very small, so it's not possible to comfortably grasp in your hands. The layout also makes racing games extremely uncomfortable to play.
#wow #woah@All

This guy obviously has never learned to use the controllers in the right way.
