Wow ,IGN sure hates the PS3 .

Oh really? Let us take a look.

Ign Ps3 reviews. 0.6% above average

Ign wii reviews. 0.5% above average

Ign 360 reviews. 0.3% above average

Conclusion: What you actually mean is ''Im a PS3 fanboy and they are rating the games I hope will sell the system lowly.''

The only claim you can possibly make about ign being biased towards the ps3. Is that they prefer it to the wii and 360.

 

Wow, Zim that's a neat feature of GameRankings I didn't know about.  Having explored a little more, it's evident that the general impressions in other threads of IGN, 1up and GameSpot are accurate.  IGN has the closest reviews accross systems, and rates more posititvely in general than the other two sites.  GameSpot is fairly close (PS3 = +0.1, 360 = -1.0, Wii = -2.0), with a slight systematic bias against the Wii and an even slighter one against the 360.  That fits in well with the fact that they're all over the map for ratings.  And 1up is the most hardcore of the three, and definitively has an anti-Wii bias.  (PS3 and 360 ~= -3.5, Wii = -10.0).

 So there, the proof is in the proverbial pudding, and that debate is over.  Thanks.

Actually, Gamespot's % from average is really weird if you look closely at their game scores. They lowball games like Zelda and Metroid while giving a game like Warioware the best score out of all the Wii games. They have a lot of titles with large differences in ratings. For Warioware to be their highest rated Wii game, I have to throw out all their opinions. It's a fun game but I wouldn't give it higher than an 8.5/10

Warioware	91%	+9.3%
Twilight Princess	88%	-6.3%
Metroid Prime 3	85%	-7%
Super Monkey Ball	83%	+10%
Red Steel	55%	-10%

Scarface	58%	-12.8%
Far Cry Vengeance	55%	+17.5%
Harry Pottwer OotF	50%	-21%
