Inherently flawed study, as it's only rating the top 30 games on each (plus multi). You can't claim institutional bias when you're looking at ~5% of the games on these platforms, it's borderline irresponsible. "Journalistic integrity" indeed, lol.

Guess not everyone has the resources to put hundreds of hours into this. Anyway even from these "30" titles, you can see that the graph lines are pretty much static, which can say a lot. These graphs cover pretty much every notable exclusive or release, so we are talking about the "important" titles.

If you care to add more titles, please do so. Until than, you haven't proven any flaw. It's like crying about public opinion research that only covers 50 000 people out of 50 000 000.

If he doesn't have the resources to do an actual comprehensive study, perhaps he shouldn't be casting aspirations of bias?

And actually, upon further inspection it looks like he's not even meeting own criteria for the comparison. For example, Lost Odyssey should be in that 360 list, but it missing despite it's metascore of 78.  EDGE only gave it a 6, meaning it'd also work against his "bias" claims.... how convenient. ;)

This wasn never labeled as a comprehensive study, and his aspiration of bias is subject to his research which was conducted under given circumestances, which are described in the opening statement. I'm urging you to improve upon this research by adding all that you think is missing, unless you can prove that his graphs are wrong, your statement isn't justified.

Lost Odyssey should be in that 360, but his choice to exclude it was probably limitation content wise. Also EDGE only gave it 7, your claim was false, how convenient...

If you try to undermine this, atleast take the effort not to fail on your first FACTUAL statement. Kk thx bye!

Well, I should hope not, given it's a pretty shallow look at the data. I'm saying is you'd need to take a comprehensive look at things before staking a claim of bias, especially for a publication was well regarded and respected in the industry as edge.

Also, there's no "limitation" here for LO, it ranked higher than other titles he did include in this "top 30" for 360 exclusives.  Also missing is Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon... and any JRPGs in fact, a genre Edge is known to be particularly hard on.  And yet, I see Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 3 and Demon's Souls all seemed to make it into his PS3 list?
