Notice it's called "Conservative Commentator" and not "bible thumping homophobe". Labeling them as "PS3 fanboys" or "360 Fanboys" is ludicris. They are the core gamer, and that much should be obvious to begin with seeing as how they are all men in their late twenties or thirties that have played videogames their entire life and have a talk show about it. You don't listen to Rush Limbaugh and complain that he isn't giving Democrats a fair shake. And sports commentators aren't required to say which team is their favorite and be judged adveresly as unqualified to have a talk show for it. |
Being professional doesn't have to do with giving a favorable opinion about everything, it has to do with giving an opinion which is fair and reasonable given the facts of a situation ... Even the most biased political comentators have done a far better job than 1up at this.
For example, saying "In 2008 Nintendo and third party publishers really haven't payed enough attention to core gamers on the Wii" is quite a bit different than saying "Name 5 Wii games worth playing" ... and saying "The Wii is more powerful than the Gamecube and yet most Wii games do not meet the standard we expected from the Gamecube" is quite a bit different than saying "Why the fuck do Dreamcast games looke better than Wii games"
