I voted for him. I wouldn't have bothered if someone even vaguely influential was at the top when I checked, but the top 10 were a whos-who of non-influencial people I don't know - I even read about them to check they weren't some movie producer I didn't realise made movies I like, but nope, just a bunch of nobodys.

Well done to Shigsy!

He invented Wii Fit all by himself? Along with the Wiiremote and console too. Hmm.

What a stupid poll. Heidi Klum and Rain in the Top 10? Much respect to them, but how are they influential? How can anyone put them in the same category as the Dalai Lama. But anyway, Shigsy, ftw.

Shigsy did more to influence modern games than most gamers realise.

Sure you may not like the fact he makes all of his games "family friendly".

But even in the most violent of games you can see elements influenced from things he's designed in the past..

Well deserved in my opinion. And peterfll, yes, it was actually Miyamoto who came up with the very concept of the Wii and its controls. He's not just some poxy game software programmer, he does a -hell- of a lot at Nintendo, so much, you could even say he IS Nintendo himself.

It's not so much "most influential person of the year" as it is "person with the biggest internet fanbase" really, is it?

Well yeah.. that's taken as read..

doesnt mean he doesnt deserve recognition for what he's done for gaming though.
