I wouldn't count French territories as the country of France. So that would be "No" in your situation.

Strange poll today. The trends will be quite interesting because people from Europe are way more likely to have visited France compared to countries outside of Europe.

LoL won't win more than one match in a games contest. Not when it currently has a playrate of 25.73%. By comparison, WoW has a playrate of 40.66% in a poll near the end of 2010.
Kotetsu534 posted... From Christmas 2011 till the latest round of polls, PS3 ownership increased from 63.28% to 64.51%, or by 1.23%. 3DS ownership, over the same period, increased from 33.55% to 36.11%, or by 2.56%. I'd expected the 3DS to jump up a bit quicker than that. I was a bit surprised at the very slow growth of the 3DS since last Christmas. Now that the 3DS XL was announced a few weeks ago, I expect very little growth until the 3DS XL gets released. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Xbox 360 ownership went from 59.40% (in the 7/6/2011 poll) to 59.64% in the recent batch of "Got Console?" polls. I think the Xbox 360 has a chance of breaking 60% ownership eventually.
iPhone also improved itself by going from 17.83% to 19.56%. However, it was the Android that got a bigger boost, as it went from 29.55% to 33.85% in a span of about 6 1/2 months. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

I never mentioned this, but there is no option available for people who have never owned a single Nintendo console. "No, I'm done with Nintendo consoles" wouldn't work for those people because they never owned any Nintendo consoles.

There are other reasons besides the motion control gimmick as to why someone never bought a Wii yet. Usually, that is either the price or because it has no games they are interested in. Or because they never bothered to buy a Wii since they have other systems to provide them with an endless supply of games to play.

This poll was handled very badly. There isn't even an option for people who don't have a Wii, but would still be interested in buying future Nintendo consoles (not the handhelds, though).

And I'm legitimately surprised that over 10% so far even have a Vita, I honestly thought it'd be far less. As of yesterday's poll, Vita's ownership is at 12.17% and it's been out for about 4 1/2 months (worldwide). The 3DS had 10.03% ownership on the launch date and even the PSP was doing better than the Vita from the start. Vita is off to a much slower start than the PSP. PSP had 9.90% ownership on the worldwide release date. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Over 45% of the site rarely or never plays their Wii anymore? Hot damn, that's insane. More extreme than I was expecting. That also ties in very strongly with the decline of the Wii on this site.
Update on system ownership: PS3 is now at 64.51%, previously at 63.28% in the last PS3 poll. Vita is now at 12.17%, previously at 6.68%. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

*feels sad for the rest* I have yet to get a PS3, as I still don't have an HDTV.

Vita is still struggling nearly 5 months later. Vita's ownership right now is almost identical to what the 3DS had on its launch date, and that's considering the Vita has already been out for nearly 5 months.
I thought the Vita would have better ownership than this, based off of this poll: http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=4637 Vita had 6.68% ownership in that poll, with another 6.58% saying that they plan on getting it soon. Out of the 6.58% that said they would be getting one soon, only 3.62% of those people actually got a Vita (bringing ownership up to 10.30% right now). -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

These people barely get past the age of 30 because of the fact that by not feeling pain, they can get seriously injured and either 1. not realize it, or 2. lack the reaction to save themselves. They have an advantage in which they don't need to use painkillers, ever. So no having to use painkillers after surgery. EndOfDiscOne posted... Luster took over everyone's account today apparently.

Luster what is your favorite poll from the first half of 2012? The continent poll. It has the most extreme trends. Besides the continent poll, it would also be the soda poll and the age poll. This year's age poll was more boring because the trends were much weaker as a result of being on the weekend. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

3DS ownership is now currently at 36.11% as of yesterday's poll. I just updated this list again:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=0AgBWiYjlMLwYdDZFV2I1SFl4VXFDMjQ2RmJqUXJTd0E The 3DS has been gaining very little ownership since last Christmas. Ownership has only gone up by 2.56% since last year's Christmas.

How exactly would one sell an individual steam game? WazzupGenius00 posted... There'd have to be some way to de-activate it from your account and then transfer it over to your buyer. In the case of Steam, a new version of the program would have to be released that enables you to sell your Steam game. However, this means that Steam would automatically de-activate and delete the game from your computer when you try to sell your Steam game. -- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |

Something has to keep these topics going during the offseason. I'm pretty sure every bit of contest minutiae worth discussing has already been mined in the past ten years of contests and offseasons. All we really have left is Luster spending more time analyzing each regular poll than most people do the actual contests. During the past month, I've only posted trend charts for 2 polls. 2 polls out of the last 30 we've had. I did the trend chart for the continent poll and also a trend chart for the "Hot enough for ya?" poll. I also did a trend chart for the poll about subtitles/dubbing in Japanese video games, but I never posted those because they weren't extreme enough.

Very important, without becoming an obsession. I think you are referring to wrong option. The option "Fairly important, they take up a lot of my time" suggests that it's an obsession (along with the first option).

I just got Mountain Dew Dark Berry when I saw it at Wal-Mart today. I bought one 20 fluid ounce bottle and 2 "2 liter" bottles of this stuff, because it's a limited edition flavor.
As for the taste, it has a similar taste to Voltage. I thought this flavor tasted okay, but Voltage still tastes better than this. Later tonight, I will chug the 20 fluid ounce bottle live on tinychat. I will chug it cold and carbonated. My body is ready!
