No, really. That Mii looks identical to mine.

It looks like they stole the picture, changed the captions, and then resized it. The text on their version of the image looks too perfect - no graininess. Plus, why would they be asking a user-base of mostly young kids what their family income is? Do they even ask any question that are location-specific (i.e. USA/dollar) anyway? |

True, that. The font for the voting options is different - look at the a's and e's. (The shadow is different too, but since I don't own a Wii I can't check whether that's due to a software update or something). And there's the fact that the distribution of results in the pie chart thing is 50:50, whereas their report says it should be more in favour of $100K+ (assuming the pie chart thing actually works?) |

Plus, why would they be asking a user-base of mostly young kids what their family income is? Mostly young kids? Oi! The whole point about Wii is that it appeals to everybody - kids, young professionals, old dears, etc.
Do they even ask any question that are location-specific (i.e. USA/dollar) anyway? Yes. Some questions are per country (or at least you only see the results for your country), some are global.
And there's the fact that the distribution of results in the pie chart thing is 50:50, whereas their report says it should be more in favour of $100K+ (assuming the pie chart thing actually works?) You're looking at the voting/prediction screen, not the results.
The results screen looks like this:
