You can say the same thing two different ways and only believe one, but both can be true. The head start will "always" be a mitigating factor for PS3 fanboys, and will "always" be an important advantage to take into account for 360 fanboys. That's just the way that prejudice filters data.

I do agree with the bolded. I knew these crowds would appear. However, I needed a comparison point otherwise any findings wouldn't mean anything to anybody. The data doesn't seem significant unless I put it up against something, and that something was the PS3 because of the history of the misconception I was trying to prove wrong. Regardless of how the data is split, or whether PS3 or 360 wins, ultimately I wanted to show that the 360 did have a comparable amount of true exclusives and they were not considered to be crap using something most people could get behind, which is Metacritic or Gamerankings.
I still believe the way you're splitting data isn't a good way to do it, because each section isn't of equal stature. You can question how effective my breakdown is, but at least I'm using a fairly popular method of breaking things down which is at the 10th percentile. I wanted everything I used to be familiar and acceptable to most people here so there was less resistance with the findings. Nowhere in the findings did I shove any prejudices I have onto them.
