The list is the Time 100, which profiles 100 people that, in Time's opinion, are the most influential. And this year, our opinions will help shape Time's. And that's why we say Shigeru Miyamoto hasn't taken over the list yet. If there's anything gamers are good at, it's being vocal on the Internet.
He's currently sitting at number 3 on the list with an average rating of 92, but we're sure that our collective clicking-on-things power will drive him to the top of the list. Sure, that's above every world leader and every scientist, but if they wanted carefully-researched decisions about relative world influence, they shouldn't have asked the Internet. They're lucky that we're even voting for real people.

Vote for shiggy, then vote against the king of Thailand and Colbert (even though i love them both, but Shiggy has to win, because it will be a victory for Nintendo fanboys and gaming culture alike)

also, how the hell is King Adulyadej so far ahead in votes?
Is it because of his contribution to Thailand's recent shift to constitutional government?
Or is it just a bunch of Thais being patriotic?

I can see it now: Colbert announces he's in this on his show; mentions he's second to Miyamoto; begins fierce faux-rivalry with him; culminates in special guest appearance of Miyamoto on the Report... in some sort of Wii game (since they've done boxing already)

King Adulyadej is top because it's illegal not to like him. He's a top man, but he's nowhere near that good.
But you know who it's going to be.... YOU!!!
