View Full Version : Nickelodeon Console Poll (Interesting)

So today my kid's watching SpongeBob on Nick and I'm on my laptop when they go to a commercial. A commercial comes on and a voice over begins. "Which gaming system do you prefer? PS2, or Xbox?" Then they go through about five or six kids, each saying which they prefer. "Results in just a moment," it says, and then more commercials.

In a minute or two the commercial comes back on and the voice says, "here were the results of our Nick.com poll. 64% of you kids preferred Playstation 2, while 36% preferred Xbox." They plugged Nick.com, then went back to SpongeBob.

I quickly searched Nick.com but I can't find the poll anywhere (truth be known, I probably just don't know where it's hidden on there). I thought it was interesting that they didn't mention the Gamecube at all, since it is the one most often associated with kids (and several Nick licenses appear on it!).

Gee, Viacom and Sony....aren't they good friends? Because I remember Viacom (Owners of Nick, MTV, Spike TV, etc.) Have been supported by Sony for many years...

So the kids saying they like PS2 better comes to no surprise

Rabid Nintendo fanboys are making their attack on Nick.com at this very moment, creating several off-topic posts about how Alex Mack was better than anything Nickelodeon is airing now.

Alex Mack sucked, The Adventures of Pete & Pete is the best Nick show EVER.

Ain't it the truth! A while back I was going through books at Goodwill and saw one with the license - I was like OMG!!1 TEH ALEX! Hot.

Eh, the things we kids had to do back then... LOL

There were a bunch of great shows on back then. I wonder how much we realized it at the time. Today you've got...spongebob. Looks a wee bit insipid to me :(

Pete and Pete ruled. I wish Artie was MY own personal superhero.

I thought Spongebob was rather stupid at first myself, until I found myself watching it one day out of boredom. It seems to be carrying on the "Ren and Stimpy" spirit (moreso than the new, non-funny R&S eps on Spike TV).

Same thing happened with Fairly Oddparents. I thought it was stupid until I actually sat down and watched it and found myself laughing my ass off.
