Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why is N4G so biased against Xbox 360?

On Vgchartz homepage you can go look right now there is an article from N4G "Why Owning a PS3 is cheaper than xbox"

not just that but i've seen so many anti-xbox articles.  last year i saw an article on N4G "Sony cares about you more than Microsoft does".

COME ON GUYS LETS BE REALISTIC FOR A MOMENT.. N4G is on Sony's nuts they report only good things about the ps3 and negatives about the 360.

I love both consoles i wish all gaming sites were fair..



I trust no one, not even myself.

Fanbase there is Sony fanboys



 

I might agree with you if you gave me an actual bias article. And NG4 does not write them, they collect articles all over the Internet. I have seen tons of negative article against the PS3 as well. But, there is tons of PS3 fans on that site.

Because they have no self confidence in their articles and figure if they criticize everything and remain loyal to one people will think they are smart.

Well nobody likes the 360. We just pretend to like it cause we love to hate on Sony.

just some fanboys with nothing better to do



Articles are submitted and approved by the users. The site has/had(?) a huge ratio of PS3 fans/fanboys as opposed to the others. Just look over the articles they have and read the ones you find interesting. Ignore the rest.



In 2007-8 it was full of 360 fanboys, so it's just evening out.

My general opinion is that the PS3 fanbase is much more vocal than the Xbox 360 and Wii fanbase.  It isn't just N4G.  Recently, in the past several months or so, they've been getting more vocal.  Any positive news about any other product on the market, they spread their Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD). 

I'm not saying that there aren't members of the Xbox 360 or Wii/Nintendo fanbase who engage in the same kinds of activities, there are.  They do their best to troll too, but they don't seem to come out in the numbers that the Sony/PS3 fanbase does. 

By this point in this generation, people really need to start accepting that each gaming system, whether handheld or home console has its strengths and weaknesses.  There is enough factual information available on all of the gaming systems that people don't need to spout misinformation, and when they do have enough good grace and common sense to accept the truth rather than persist in pushing misinformation.

As for rumors and speculation, everyone needs to stop getting bent out of shape, spreading FUD, and misinformation about things no one has any absolute or positive proof about.  Every rumor should be taken with a grain of salt until that day comes when Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft release real details.  Then, get on with your lives.  If you don't have one, start one. 



n4g is full of idiots. more so than most places on the web.
n4g is the equavalent for videogames as tabloids are to celebrity's.

 

 

But PS3 fanboys seem to be more vocal everywhere.
