Half the questions aren't even specific to the Wii! Maybe someone does check, who knows.

they dont have to be, they can resell that information to companies that want to know it and use it for their marketing and such.

Sure, that would be quite clever, provided they re thought some of the questions!

You made the choice to vote, all nintendo has to say is that 25% of the people ages 12-15 in Texas like this over that. Bam! Money for nintendo. They dont need your names, just what you represent. Its like a poll basically. So I really wouldnt be suprised if nintendo is making money off you all for voting, you have to understand that when I said nintendo was going the super greedy route, they really are putting a bigger focus on money this time around than ever before.

I use it sometimes, some of the polls can be interesting. In Australia there has been no single poll that has been Wii-specific. Somehow I don't think polls like "Which came first the chicken or the egg", "Can you see stars from your house" or "Can you remember what you had for dinner three days ago" can be to useful for Nintendo or marketing companies  .

You also get the option of submitting your own questions... So far none of mine have been accepted - but then they are normally along the lines of "Does Derek (my friend) have a ridiculously small penis?" - "Yes" or "hahahah Yes!"
My gf finds it fun to see what the outcome of each question is. And by fun I mean, mildly interesting...
Nintendo Rep - I have some market research for you. Its in relation to our top selling technical media-marvel console the Wii!
Market Research Company x - Really? We'd be interested in that information. It sure seems like a good way to acquire new market research.
Nintendo Rep - Yes! 54% think Dogs are better than Cats!

Nintendo MVP - Right then team get a tea coloured Wii onto the shelves NOW..!!
Nintendo Team - Yay! Everybody votes channel! Yay!...*cough* ahem sir, is that with or without milk???
