But it's a regular survey of gamers' intent to purchase (and clearly gamers of all platforms). BTW, MM, meet Poppa_P - he's pre-ordered the game. So now you know at least "a single person" who is interested. Again, a survey of your friends, IMHO, isn't quite as rigorous as that of hundreds of gamers as conducted by one of the largest and most well-established market research companies on the planet. As to Uncharted 2 being the "best game at E3". That isn't something we could really "report" on. That's an opinion. Your opinion. We have already reported that Uncharted 2 is leading the nominations in the Game Critics Awards.

Unless you're actually aged five, it's time to grow up MM. MM, yes, I’m guessing it’s probably an American survey – as Nielsen is primarily a US-based company.

Seems strange that Uncharted 2 does not even appear on the survey, considering it was best game at E3.. Even stranger that Electric Pig didn't bother to report that. Anyone would think Simon Monk had a gaming preference that's washing off in what articles he chooses to write about, and what he chooses to ignore. The 700 Natal stories would sorta back that up..
