Just saw an episode of X-Play (what can I say? This thread reminded me of it)
They showed a piece of news saying that the Brits have replaced Japan as the number 2 country when buying video games.
Where is the bias you say? When explaining that Great Britain is number 2, they use a picture of Queen Elizabeth and photoshopped the picture and had her holding the chainsaw gun from Gears of War to show her interest in video games.
Funny stuff, but here is something to think about; if they wanted to show Queen Elizabeth and a reference to video games, why not just have her hold a Wiimote? We all know she has an actual Wii. Just a thought... |
You have to understand the demographics that X-Play is showing too. 90% of their viewers are 360 only owning males, ages ranging 15-25. Their bias to keep that base if very noticable if you watch and listen to what they say.
They could really care less if the Wii even existed.

Where did you get this stat?
AS a PSwii owner I like xplay. Guess I'm missing something...
Also Reviews aren't made to reassure you of a purchase. But to inform you of bad games. Which the Wii is infamous of having. Anyone that argues this.... Well don't respond. i don't want to talk to you.

I was exagerrating based of anecdotal experience. But if you don't think that the show is built to cater to PS3 and 360 only male owners ranging from that high school to college age, I think you need to watch more of it.

Maybe so.
BUT, what I can't stand is people judging other peoples bad reviews about a game they haven't even played yet.
It doesn't look good people. It doesn't look fun. Get over it. I hope it is, I need new games for my Wii.
