Morgorath, thing is those things are not scientific facts... they are only reflection of the views of people that choose to take part in those polls... shit load of people dont go to their website etc etc...

Only way to rate a game or game series #1 would be through financial gain... and if i was a betting men... I would say that Doom franchise would by far gain more money that Zelda...
hell, final fantasy franchise would blow away those 2 combined (which NONE of those polls/websites even mentioned)... i think FFX sold like 100,000 copies in the first day in japan? or was it more?
anyhow... lets not debate this silly thing... if u like the game, thats fine... I remember you same people talking about Metroid Prime too... it will pass... u will all rediscover the joy of sex and forget the little Linc heh
Oh yea... I think EverQuest grossed in like a billion dollars already... So stuff that in the pipe and smoke it ;p
I don't think rating via Financial gain is very good because EverQuest has subscribers that pay each month for services.. etc.. So people keep paying its a steady incoming something that no Stand alone game can go.. And talking about EverQuest.. Ultima Online is probably made more then it has since it has been out 3 years longer then EverQuest and is still going..
And also the Final Fantasy series has always had its up's and down's? (Any one read how FFXI is doing? Since its an online version also) and there will always been those fans .. which probably are the same as liking Zelda. But all that matters is that they voted that series as #1 i just like nintendo winning anything because IMHO they make some of the top quality games.. (And i will always love Metriod Prime.. Along with Metriod Fusion) heck if i had a snes i would probably play Super Metriod again.
