Microsoft is apparently creating a shit ton of bots to spam random internet polls to get people to get a Xbone. Sure a lot of people have heard about the E3 guys harassing people at best buys but seriously? This shit is awful. Then again there are some amazing innovations on the xbone so maybe I'm wrong [img]http://31.media.tumblr.com/168532eb925b03ac74fc8e54ef504c27/tumblr_msqgdkPUl11qfhd73o1_500.jpg[/img] #Woah [b]Edit[/b] It may just be a fanboy with too much time on his hands, it's up in the air but there's no confirmed reports on it being them. Point is that the polls being fucked with.
Hahaha what the fuck are you doing Microsoft? First that EA thing and now this? Somebody is unconfident of their console. Atleast this explains ZachPL :V
how hard is it to only count 1 tweet per account ye people will just make tons of accounts but its still slower than just tweeting a lot

Fuck off Microsoft, nobody wants your console and rigging votes will only make it worse.
I'm not surprised.
You know this could of not been Microsoft?

[QUOTE=Lufttygger306;42119681][img]http://www.virginmedia.com/images/actioncliche-lethalweapon-590.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] After I posted it I couldn't stop thinking about Eddie Riggs from Brutal Legend It kinda works out if I think about it like that.
Wow I just noticed how badly PS3 was beating Xbox in that poll before the rig. All countrys were atleast 84% PS3, most were over 90%. I was expecting xbox to have atleast 25% in the US. It's kinda sad.

Where the fuck is Wii U yeah fuck this, doesn't matter that the votes were rigged, the contest was already from the beginning
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119792]Where the fuck is Wii U yeah fuck this, doesn't matter that the votes were rigged, the contest was already from the beginning[/QUOTE] pretty sure the poll is meant to ask people which unreleased next gen console they would rather own

[QUOTE=Makol;42119814]pretty sure the poll is meant to ask people which unreleased next gen console they would rather own[/QUOTE] They should have a "#BothConsolesAreShit" option
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119828]They should have a "#BothConsolesAreShit" option[/QUOTE] you mean "#BothConsolesAreShitInBFG9000'sOpinion"
the PS4 fans are probably doing the same thing.
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119828]They should have a "#BothConsolesAreShit" option[/QUOTE] Says the one defending the Wii U...
[QUOTE=Plaster;42119863]the PS4 fans are probably doing the same thing.[/QUOTE] It's possible, but when that poll first showed up a few months ago PS4 legitimately was at 90% to Xbox One's 10%. Looks like the balance hasn't shifted too much since then.
Solid proof this was microsoft. Because the company doesn't have better things to do with its time. And gamespot is a terrible gaming website that no one goes to anymore.
[QUOTE=Makol;42119840]you mean "#BothConsolesAreShitInBFG9000'sOpinion"[/QUOTE] If you haven't fucking noticed this IS an opinion contest soooooooo
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119893]If you haven't fucking noticed this IS an opinion contest soooooooo[/QUOTE] An opinion contest over PS4 and Xbox One...
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42119887]Solid proof this was microsoft. Because the company doesn't have better things to do with its time.[/QUOTE] For once I'm going to agree with ZachPL. Unless there's actual proof that Microsoft is behind this, this could just be a bunch of fans gaming the system.
[QUOTE=Jeller;42119897]An opinion contest over PS4 and Xbox One...[/QUOTE] what if you'd rather not get any of them?
[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;42119821]That isn't a shocking development though, the Xbox has always struggled in Japan[/QUOTE] Of course it is, that's sony's turf.
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119893]If you haven't fucking noticed this IS an opinion contest soooooooo[/QUOTE] I have and they're obviously asking a question that doesn't apply to you apparently
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119907]what if you'd rather not get any of them?[/QUOTE] Then you don't vote
[QUOTE=BFG9000;42119907]what if you'd rather not get any of them?[/QUOTE] Then you simply don't take part in it...
[QUOTE=ZachPL;42119887]Solid proof this was microsoft. Because the company doesn't have better things to do with its time.
