That seems to be the problem with the list in a nutshell. If it was presented in a style of "X is nice, and everyone loves it, but Y is also great and Needs More Love," that wouldn't be a problem. But the format it is, "X Is Popular So It Sucks, and Y is so much better than that crap."
The Wii and PSP thing is one. The handful of marquee titles in this year is just from Nintendo themselves, but the site twists that means the Wii isn't getting any unique titles and features. That is not the same, and both systems are getting great games.
Also, the streaming video vs blu-ray page. Okay, blu-ray has great video and audio quality. If that really mattered to the mainstrea, it would already be more popular than streaming video. Also, they are forgetting that streaming video allows a lot more variety of content. Fans of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series wouldn't likely even get that series without streaming video. Blu-ray has its merits, but that page reads like a pathetic plea.
And even one I agree with is off. Yes, Paint.Net kicks ass. Paint Shop is great too. But why is the cost listed as an afterthought in why Photoshop is overrated, while discussing the necessity of print optimization gets most of that pargraph?
EDIT: Okay, the PSP could use more hit games in the west, but it's likely going to outsell the SNES in a year or so. If that's underrated, what the hell?
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
