Since E3, countless online polls have surfaced, allowing dedicated gamers to wave their flag and show their loyalty to the console they want to purchase this Holiday season. Polls, naturally, receive a lot of doubt, especially when they show lopsided results. GameNTrain takes a look at whether or not online polls can make a difference.
RPG Site: "When we had the chance to play the upcoming Visions of Mana earlier this month, Square Enix was kind enough to offer us a chance to have a chat with the Mana Series Producer, Masaru Oyamada-san. We talked about the long wait for another release in the series, and what the goals were when developing it."
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt hosted its fiscal year 2023 earnings conference, and provided details about its games and business alongside comments on the use of generative AI and licensing its IPs for mobile games.
Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.
see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.
So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.
I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.
I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.
i saw this linked on my fb page. people are so quick to say "this does not matter" but would you be saying the same thing if your console was in the lead?
we live in a connected world. i have friends who update fb on an hourly basis on their phone. i have to ask those who think the online response to xbox one will not make a difference: what planet are you from? even my non gaming friends know about how microsoft is trying to sell another kinect camera (they say it seems cheap to drop the old one so quickly)
Well you can bet that if the tides were shifted the other way, these websites would be whistling a whole different tune.
I've mentioned this before -
Early adopters are core. Core are the free promoters of their console of choice. They are motivated to see their console "win".
So it's extremely important to have early momentum with early adopters. Doesn't matter that average consumers don't even know November is coming - because, come time for the sheep to purchase their shepards the early adopters will be in full effect.
So yeah, polls for some industries are weak indicators of sales. But not when your talking about gaming or tech industry in general.
Polls only mean something relative to the amount of people involved. So lets set this up. If 200,000 people were polled and 140,000 chose PS4 guess what that means (according to the first two posts up top) those were numbers according to the informed and hardcore gamers.
Compare that to the over 200 million systems sold this gen and that's a pretty irrelevant number to go by. That's 199,800,000 million gamers (casuals I mean) who have yet to formally make up their mind on what console they want.
Even going by Amazon numbers...it's irrelevant from pre-orders. When the starting numbers don't come close to the totality of the situation. No conclusion can be made.
Sony boys won't see it that way. They think Sony has already "won" something. Here's the blue ribbon. We really won't know for awhile...further evidenced by this past gen that we can't go by how things start off with how the PS3 got off to it's slow start and still caught up. Although helped by the foreign sales that Micro will never get.
So while I agree Micro won't sell more consoles because of territories Sony has locked up. It won't be the landslide Sony cheerleaders hope it to be.

IDK if you were being sarcastic or not. I'm figuring sarcastic..since you said F numbers when I provided them..along with logic. But thanks anyway.
