My hyphothisis was absolutely correct, but I don't want to get into that, it'd just be a text crit, and it's missing the point. Suffice it to say that IGN is simply an idea, not a person, and individuals write their articles, not some great collective consciousness.

The point is, how quickly the loving PS3 fanbase turned rabid on IGN when they put up a small article criticizing a couple of aspects of the next Sony golden calf. Such a magnificant example of my Sony fanbase theory, and how review sources must now appease that market, or be destined and doomed to lack of credibility in the minds of the average internet gamer. I bet 10 to 1 that this story is on, or will be on N4G(with heavy damage control, and 2 negative 360 articles to counteract it), and spun negatively towards IGN by every commentor and probably the articles poster.

If someone only read N4G, they would think that Sony was easily winning this console war.

 

Your 2nd paragraph still falls prey to my argument that 360 folks do the same thing, so stop trying to say it's a Sony thing.  It's not.  It's just that that's the base that currently has a bee in its bonnet.  There are a lot of sites that favor 360 and hate PS3, and do damage control and write negative articles.  So you are only self-interestedly telling 1/3 of the story.

The PS3 fans have far more pull and influence, and everyone who has seen the Internet knows it. Just look at some of the most visited news sites. I just took this screenshot....

Read that crap, dude. This is the PS3 we're talking about. I've seen less spin on the SDF than I have seen from nearly every N4G article....

Are there popular Microsoft propoganda sites that people tout as "news sites?"
