Consoles

Got Console? is a question that CJayC/SB constantly asks on the Poll of the Day during Contest off-seasons, usually about the most recent generation of consoles (ie Got Wii? and Got PS3? in 2007). The results of these polls allow us to determine the site's All-Time Console Market Share, that is, what percent of GameFAQs users own or have ever owned a given system.
