[Update] Sega Europe asks what your favourite Sega console is

Sega Europe has just added a new poll to their Facebook page, “What’s your favourite SEGA console?”
But before anybody gets excited and starts saying “Omg! Sega is planning on releasing a new machine!” - apparently this poll is just for fun, and curiosity.
Well I guess polls are pretty fun. At the time of writing the Dreamcast is a clear winner, with 50% of the votes, and it seems like there are no votes for the Master System. It’s a tough choice, I pretty much love all of the systems (although Master System is my easily my least favourite).
Anyway, if you want to help show your appreciation for a particular Sega console, then you can check out the poll over at Sega Europe’s Facebook page.
[Update: A very decent little update here, Sega Europe has also posted an article about this poll (mentioning us - yey!) and if you go to the Sega Europe blog post (not Facebook) and leave a comment, stating what your favourite Sega console is, you can win a lovely little Sega goodie bag!]

Sonic voted the UK’s favourite gaming icon
Posted by Graham. Filed under Europe, G, News, Sonic. Tagged with Fan Stuff, London Games Festival, Poll, Sonic the Hedgehog.
Despite many of his more recent titles being widely regarded as crap games, Sonic the Hedgehog still holds a big place in the hearts of gamers in the UK, it seems.
Leading up to this year’s London Games Festival (starting this Friday - 24th), a poll was held to find out which gaming character was the best, and Sonic came top place, with nearly a quarter of all votes going to our blue, spikey, speed-freak.
To be honest I’m not sure how the voting was held, or how “official” it all is, but it’s always great to see Sonic win something.
The top 10 list after the break.
MSN ignites the console wars, once again

MSN wants to know what the greatest gaming consoles of all time are, and is getting anyone whos cares to vote. But can we, the Sega Nerds of the world, tip the balance of war in favour of our favourite game company? I’d like to think so.
Right now the only Sega console in the Top 10 rankings is the Megadrive, in at an impressive 4th place (just like Great Britain in the Olympics - Whoo!), with a score of 69%.
I think it would be pretty great for everyone to get on and vote for the Sega consoles over the others. It would be interesting to see if the Sega fans of the world can actually make a dent in the final rankings.Â
