I dont think they are biased for the most part, but then again I dont see the actual data used to make their calculations nor do I really want to since this is just about games anyway. I think that if the site becomes too biased one way or another it will lose too many readers and then we wouldnt be having the flame wars which sadly attract even more people. Moth to a flame concept very much like how newpapers and political forums work. You need to rock the boat a bit every now and then to generate excitement but you have to be careful not to sink it by losing everyone.
As far as the posters go, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think that any company that lies and cheats shouldnt be supported. MS keeps lying or dodging questions about their sales numbers. Everyone knows they are over-inflated because they count replacements to defective consoles as sales. They have also lied (at least I am pretty sure its a lie) about the percentage of defective consoles they have. Every single 360 my friends have purchased have been replaced at least once... that is 7 for 7 and they were all replaced and 1 has been replaced twice. Thats a 100% rate! I wouldnt believe it if i didnt see it.
Sony on the other hand has been over hyping their console with nothing but air. I dont know if anyone remembers the term "vaporware" but that is essentially what Sony has done. They promised all these incredible abilities like "4-Dimentional" gaming... (sigh)... and have delivered exactly nothing that even remotely qualifies as revolutionary compared to 360 games and they can barely touch current PC game quality using even mid-line video cards.
Nintendo isnt exactly innocent either but they seem to have been humbled fairly well since being pitted against MS and Sony so for now I root for them because I think they have the right idea about what gaming should be (gameplay > graphics) and because they havent jumped on the lies and disinformation bandwagon (as far as I know at least).
