I've signed a few petitions for video games: one for GTA: San Andreas to be on Xbox and the other for a Lacrosse video game on Xbox. I know that they are supposed to show the companies how many people would buy the game, but has it ever worked, and if not why do it at all? spill
Personally, I think that all these petitions are hoaxes. They just want to get your hopes up about it might actually becoming a game and getting you excited to hold onto your xbox and buy more games. If they do show it to the companies, it sure ain't workin'. Peace up, a-town down.
