Very interesting – thank-you for posting this |

Can't read the pie charts on my Kindle. Anyone got the stats in text form? |

Some very surprising numbers there. I would not have thought that Perry would have ranked that high (not that I thought they would be low or anything), or that some pretty big companies with lots of different ranges would be buried deep in the "other" category. |

looks like they compared all manufacturers regardless of scale or genre. |

Footsore figures are very nice--not surprised to see them taking a chunk of the 'other' pie. |

It would have been more interesting to see it split out by scale Perhaps 25-28, 15-18, 10, 6 and other |

I thought it largely reflected the influence of major advertisers in WI, with a few exceptions. |

"Taking a chunk of the 'other' pie" seems to equal 9 or 10 votes and less than 1% of the total! We can assume that everyone below 11 votes was voted for mainly by their staff and relatives. However, I think that the remark about ads in WI is on the button. Otherwise AB and The Assault group, both popular on forums, would show higher for instance. Availability of product at Shows seems to be another factor in the poll results. I also find it interesting that there seems little correlation with commercial success. Companies that actually sell a lot more product – like OG, Foundry, Plastic Soldier and Vitrix – do not get particularly high 'favourite' status. I would rather score low on this poll and sell shedloads! |

I'm quite surprised about TD being in the Others section – I've only ever seen ads for them in MWBG, not in WI. |
