The favorite brand amongst thirteen-to-seventeen year olds was said to be Nike by 26 percent of respondents. Next was Hummer at 23 percent, while Abercrombie, Sony and Nintendo all registered at 21 percent. This was followed by Ford, Levi and Burger King at 4 percent, Volkswagen at 3 percent and Toyota at 1 percent

._.
Hummer and Abercrombie.
These are the same people that liked Nintendo? Who were they interviewing?

If Nintendo is as popular as this so called survey claims...then why don't the overall sales numbers reflect this? Hell even most people out there in that age bracket are busy saying how horrible the Gamecube is most of the time.

It'd be interesting to see what type of people were surveyed.

In the under 13 age, Nintendo has always done well. Mario, Pokemon, etc.

The 13-17 crowd would rather play GTA and stuff. They care more about what thier friends think, etc.

Umm, i dont.

I cant think of aaaaanyone in my school year that knows what a Neo - Geo is. The Mainstream Faggots.
They are Super Mainstream, they only play super hyped games. Like All the football games, need for speed, GTA and crap like that.

I like the fact that with 13-17 year olds, Nintendo and Sony ARE THE FUCKING SAME. And Microsoft wasnt even on the list, so I guess its a little biased :emb:

Well, it is brand recognition and popularity, nothing more.
Most of those people interviewed probably owned a Nintendo system at some time. That doesn't mean they like GC.

When I think about Nintendo, I think of Zelda on the SNES, Super Mario Bros 3, Megaman 2 and 3, etc. I don't think about Mario Sunshine.

I'm 17 and most of my friends don't play that kind of crap.
I know most other people do though. :smirk:

Exactly. I own a SNES, N64, and a PS2.
I love my SNES and N64 to death, but there was nothing eye-catching enough on the GC to warrant me buying one at the time. Now, with Zelda:TP coming out, I MAY have bought one, but regardless, it's a bit late for me.

I never realized sports games got hype? It's not like there's much to change with each addition. The only sports games I've played worthy of hype are the soccer games and hell, they're not very popular in the US.
