Nope, its sales. That means money or at least quantity. But as I said, its for a limited time period in a limited area. Its not necessarily true on a global scale or even for the entire year. Pikey is just peeved that his preferred plaything got pipped to the post. :lol: :lol:

Just pointing out that in this case, Prim's stats seem to come from the same place as the Madmiral's. :lol:

FYI

Wyrd's official forum members - 6000
Battlefront's forum - 38,000 and counting
Privateer Press - 41,000

Add those figures to your bulwark chaps! ;)

Its not my survey and like I said (numerous times) I'm sure that on a worldwide basis there would be a definite change in the results. Did FoW have any big releases in the first quarter? Malifaux has had quite a lot of stuff being released recently. How many of the people on that forum are from the states? How often to they buy new models? There are lots of factors involved. Since we dont know the method by which the survey was conducted, its kind of pointless to argue the results really.
Anyway, you should just take a chill pill and hope that Battlefront make some more sales in the US in quarter 2 or we'll be going through this all again then. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I ran out of chill pills a few weeks ago, hence the increase in petty arguments on this here forum. :D

(Based on popularity not volume of sales, so FoW players will have spent more money but Malifaux is a more popular ruleset).

@Prim: I don't smoke. You know that. :D
Polling is always problematic. It is self-selecting and indicative of the people who visit the site. Polling firms spend a lot of time trying to randomize the pool of people that they call to make sure that it is representative.
Why would anyone interested in FOW visit TTGN? Battlefront maintains an up-to-date website complete with forums that puts out news flashes every Thursday.

BTW according to that site 'Other Boardgames' are consistently more popular than everything except Warmachine. Yeah, right. Other months show Warmahordes as more popular than either 40K or Fantasy. Sure, PP is making big inroads but there is no way they have caught GW yet.

What is this site coming to? First the Madmiral just starts making figures up (the 90% profit thing) now Prim starts quoting totally unscientific figures from a partisan website as gospel truth, and encourages smoking to boot. The Mighty Primarch(TM) = The Fox News of NagoyaHammer??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Remember, it is facts, not random made-up stuff that make up that impregnable bulwark :twisted:

From http://www.dictionary.com
Fact = a truth known by actual experience or observation:

TTGN (a neutral group) conducted a poll of the people who visit their site. - observation.
The poll showed that Malifaux was more popular than FoW amongst the people who answered their poll. - The truth learned through observation.

Fact: Number of polls conducted by MtP = 0

Pikey quotes forum numbers as the basis for his hypothesis.

Fact: You HAVE to register to view the FoW forums.
Fact: You dont have to register to view the Malifaux forums. (Which also have a news page and frequent updates and previews).
Fact: I am a member of the FoW forums as I HAD to join to find the information I was after. I am not a member of the Malifaux forums but visit there far more frequently.

When Pikey can point us in the direction of a neutral poll conducted by someone outside of Wyrd/Battlefront/nagoyahammer that proves his hypothesis, I will happily accept those results. When Pikey actually puts up some facts based on real evidence and not just his opinion, I will be sure to listen, read and amend my thinking. Until then he can continue to hide behind his bulwark of lies, innuendo and self-deception.


P.s. :D :D :D

@Prim: You seem to have missed the figures from Facebook I posted on the first page (a symptom of Madmiralitis?). Do they not count? :D

Your definition of 'popular' has also changed since your first post (another symptom?) First it was sales. Now it's who who like the game plus purchases. Make up your mind (minds?) :D

Anyways, here's a poll from DakkaDakka. Just as biased as your own information. :D :D :D
What major games systems do you collect/play? (2010 followup)
Warhammer 40k 29% [ 1659 ]
Warhammer FB 12% [ 689 ]
Lord of the Rings / WoTR 4% [ 208 ]
Warmachine 5% [ 297 ]
Hordes 3% [ 176 ]
Flames of War 3% [ 154 ]
AT-43 1% [ 69 ]
Helldorado 0% [ 18 ]
Unchartered Seas 1% [ 34 ]
Battle Tech 2% [ 115 ]
Mechwarrior Dark-Age 1% [ 30 ]
Hero Quest 1% [ 86 ]
Starwars miniatures 1% [ 86 ]
Heroclix 1% [ 59 ]
Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures 2% [ 135 ]
Battlefleet Gothic 3% [ 198 ]
Starfleet Battles 0% [ 26 ]

Axis and Allies 2% [ 128 ]
Other (Write in) 2% [ 144 ]
Malifaux doen't even get a mention. Even if all the 'others' were Malifaux players then it wouldn't equal FOW
