In some places, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, X-play caters to 360 owners because they are the bulk of the audience. In that case, it at least makes commercial sense.

However, in other cases, it is just arrogance. I think many Game Informer editors would rather die than say something nice about the Wii -- even though their own surveys show there are more Wii owners "reading" the magazine than PS3 owners.

Either way, it is hard to find neutral, unbiased information -- which is unfortunate.

You know, I didn't think of it that way before...you are right that it makes sense for X-play to cater to the 360 owners, seeing that it is only seen in America and it caters to its audience.

 

But then you have publications and sites like Game Informer, Gamespot, IGN, etc. that cater to the world, yet do not bother to leave their biases at the door and focus on being proffesionals. It is like as if they never bothered to mature and be grown ups.

 

well for all we know most of them sites are still catering towards their biased fans.  Heck I quit going to gaming sites now because so easy recognizable as being biased and bullshit all the time.  I only use this site because you guys all search around the net for me and post the articles and I can click on the forum link I want to read about that talks about something I am interested in.

 

Versus going to some site that has millions of advertising all around and their front page littered with overhyped games i dont' give a shit about. and then to read about what their "professional" journalist has to bash the system i like.

 

I think i'll pass and just read about new releases and look at pictures or vids that get posted here.  plus the fanboys on this site entertain me to no end with their rediculous claims
