Nintendo Bias

Yes, it's true that Nintendo makes quality games. That would be an explanation for why Nintendo games do well on the Gamerankings all-time chart. But that's obviously NOT why it dominates the vgchartz game rankings. Nintendo games dominate the vgchartz game rankings because this site is full of Nintendo fanboys who go through and give high scores to all those games, and give low scores to non-Nintendo games.

 

It doesn't seem to be working right now, but last time I checked (July 26):

"In the vgchartz game rankings, Nintendo games take up 32 of the top 33 spots (Final Fantasy VII for the PS is the only non-Nintendo game, at #29 with an 8.08 rating, the only non-Nintendo game with a score of 8 / 10 or above). The next 13 spots (from 34 to 46) include 10 more Nintendo games, so 42 of the top 46 games on vgchartz are from Nintendo, compared to 2 from Sony and 0 from Microsoft."

Go through sometime and look at all the random Xbox 360 games that have like a 3 rating based on five votes. Gears of War was at 6.6 at one point. It doesn't really matter (and please tell that to the people bothering to give these games such low scores), but that doesn't change the fact that those who are going through and rating down games they have never even played based on the platform are absolute douchebags.

Some Xbox 360 game scores on vgchartz:

Oblivion: 7.44, PGR 3: 5.00, CoD 3: 4.35, Rayman Raving Rabbids 4.64, Quake 4: 3.82, Project Sylpheed 3.29, two NFS games: 4s, two GRAW games: 6s, Lost Planet 6.70, Lord of the Rings: 2.13(!!), CoD 2: 5.78, Dead Rising 7.14, Fight Night 3: 5.63

 

The reason for those low 360 scores is because PS3 fanboys have nothing better to do then spend hours low balling 360 games...

Can you blame them?? How much time can you actually spend watching a PS3 fold stuff?

Well, if it's PS3 fanboys who are rating down the 360 games, those scores are fair.  After all, every one of those games needs to be rated down because they're not on Bluray!
