Where did you read that. Did you see that on X-Play? Because that was only their vote for E3, and they're idiots. They hate xbox, and only voted on games that were playable to the public at E3. Also, that wasn't a public poll, it was two people from a TV show. Besides, it doesn't matter if other people love Halo and can't wait for Halo 2, because we do. If that had been a public vote, Halo 2 would stomp all and eat their souls, just because it is that bad@ss.

A show of hands, how many people know that Halo 2 rapes any other game...... thats what I thought.

You have to take into consider the fact that Resident Evil series and The Legend of Zelda series have been around much longer that Halo and Halo 2. I personnaly have never played any of the RE games, but as a long time fan of the RPG series The Legend of Zelda, like so many others, some people have long time loyalities to games such as The legend of Zelda. I myself am anticipating its release. Please do not get the wrong impression here on what I said. I have great anticipation for Halo 2. I just am speaking by opinion. I will also say that the Halo 2 anticipation is killing me like a bullet in the gut.

I've always hated the Resident Evil series - I think it's that damn annoying door animation. Zelda's good though.

i wanna re-count! the voting booths were terrible with long lines and they were poorly lit. the ballots were very confusing, too! i wanna re-count! where did these stats come from? florida?
i guess people don't know what they want. after halo2 is out, all the haters and doubters will have to suck in their pride and go get an xbox.

Nintendo has acomplished the unthinkable. Halo 2 is no longer the most popular or most wanted game. Resident Evil 4 took number 1 and is currently the most popular game and the next Legend of Zelda is the most wanted game. Halo 2 comes in second in both categories, but is closely followed by more GameCube titles! How could this happen?

Please post your thoughts.

No no no...no, no..no, by far, no. Take your Xbox prejudice somewhere where idiots and biggots go, it's a great console with unfortunately a relatively small list of great games, but good games all the same. Dont get me wrong, I'd take Xbox over any console any day, but dont bash good stuff cause it aint what you own

Damn,and i thought Half-life 2,and Doom 3(which are awesome games) would be the bigest games next to Halo 2.

All Zelda,and Resident evil games suck.Plus gamecube is not that good either.

Man,the best games are: Halo 2 1st,Half-life 2 2nd,Doom 3 3rd,and Halo 4th. And thats the end of that! -blam!-!

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

HL2 will be good... but Doom 3 will blow. I'm not impressed at all. I've seen a number of different in game movies and to me it's the same damn thing over and over. You aim and kill, the monsters just have slightly better graphics than thier predesocers(?). Yet this game will sell well though cause of the Doom cult following. Halo has it's own cult following...(as we see here). As does HL. But the difference is, both RE and Zelda have very deep roots. All are before Halo and HL, hmmm... not sure who wins in Doom, but I Zelda is older. Me personally, I remember watching the Zelda cartoons and playing Zelda on NES and A Link To The Past on SNES, I've played all RE games and own a GC. It is sadly geared towards kids and this is something Nintendo is trying to fix, as they are alienating thier original market. PS2 and XBox gear toward adults, the former target market for Sega and Nintendo back in the day. Personally, I am VERY excitied about the new Zelda, (It's a dark game and he's an adult again... Shaweet), and RE4... which IMO will kick @ss. I love Halo, and Xbox as well. But no matter how great Halo becomes, I can never forget being a little kid sitting in fron of my NES playing Zelda which was so awesome for me. Don't flame me for being anti-Halo, cause I'm not. Just that I know where my loyalties lay. I was a Zelda and RE fan WAY before Halo. And as I wait in anticipation for H2, I will also be savoring the release of the new Zelda and RE. It is a good thing Nintendo did not have Windwaker launch with GC, cause the sole reason I bought Xbox back 3 years ago was because of Halo. I remember as if it were yesterday, if the Zelda had been out, I would have surely choosen GC and Zelda. Now, tell me none of you wouldn't have either? Before any of you had even played Halo, or for that matter known about it. Do not tell me you would not have choosen a game series that won your love over a decade ago.

And you are how old? All of those game were very recent. Hell, 3 of them have yet to come out. How can you rate them!? This is my point, no one remembers the greats. Ever play Contra? Joust? Super Mario Bros? Tetris? Space Invaders? Pac-Man?

Halo 2 is my most anticipated game ever. i'm a fan of nintendo and though many people dub their consoles for kids there are many great adult games like...........redident evil and zelda. i'm not too big a fan of the resi series but this new zelda is amazing. its coming out in 2005 so its not like its in direct competition with halo 2 so give it some slack. both will be great games. halo 2 rules

theres nothing more i want to play than halo2. but i got to say zelda is just as wanted in my books. it looks amazing. ocarina of time is next to halo as my most favourite game.

got to say though i am surprised that zelda is more wanted than halo2 though. and even more so that RE4 is getting so much attention. the flood may be annoying to some but they're much better "zombies"(if you will) than the res evil zombies.

On the Halo2 coming in second, alot of this is down to Japan where the Game Cube is actually a popular console...sales everywhere else are dire though (speaking as someone who actually sells the things). Alot of it is marketting and the target audiences though, the style of games on the GC are very much of a Japanese target, and have that style...I'm not saying its bad but Pokemon and Mario just doesnt do it for me (short of strangling them and putting them head first into a blender). The GC (with the exception of a very limited number of titles) is more targetted at a low/pre-teen market. Meanwhile the XBox is much more late-teens 20's market. They games, the entire thing is designed that way. Hardware wise the GC aint that bad, it could be better and partically on the lack of a DVD drive that made a couple of terrible ideas, but it does what it does kinda well. As for a PS2 *spits*, now...thats a hunk of junk :P I won't even get started on why I can't stand those things hehe.

Anyhow, without getting side tracked on consoles, I would bet the votes were probably swayed by the huge Japanese game buying market.

Except for the fact that you play as Link in every Zelda game... Everything else leans towards it being an adventure game...
