The votes have been cast and the people have spoken.

After a week of celebrating Xenoblade and debating our favorite version, the final results have been calculated and a winner has been decided. Initially, I had assumed the winner was going to be Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but what I didn’t expect was just how close the results would be.
According to NWR readers, the consensus winner is Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Having said that, the results are fairly close which indicates that each version has its own strengths and fan base.
If XenoWeek has taught us anything, it’s that the Xenoblade series is a fan favorite and we all wait in anticipation for what Monolith Soft decides to give us next.
I am shocked as well. I thought X might pull off a narrow victory but to see 2 have such a high percentage is not what I expected out of this poll. 1 made it to the top 4 in the March Madness polls years ago and I thought it would have more support than 2 seems to have. Plus, sales of 2 haven't exactly been astronomical and with it only being out for 3 months, I figured there'd be less people who may have gotten around to playing it yet whereas 1 and X have been out for years. Could people vote multiple times? Maybe the polls were broken. (Or maybe there is a silent majority that really loves 2.)Better check in with Clex. He’s known for lovingly rigging voting systems in favor of an inferior product.
The one that won is the only one I haven't played so I couldn't say I agree or disagree and the other two are so close in percentages that it isn't like one is getting a raw deal either.
I haven't beaten either of the first two and probably got further in the first one. I actually never even got to the point where I was using a mech in X. I love these games but they're unfortunately really huge and I just can never seem to dedicate enough consecutive free time to get far with them. Something in life comes up, grown up **** if you will, and I don't end up playing the game for a few weeks and then it all just falls by the wayside because I've forgotten where I am and what I was doing. This is a problem with games in general but it really affects these titles because they're so long. I can fit a 20-30 hour game in no problem but 100 hours? I wish at least one of these came out when I was under 23. I would have loved these games and had the flexibility then to play them fully.
