Yea, the more people that become idiotic "core" gamers, the more biased reviews will start to appear.

HD games, for the most part, on MOST websites get +5 points higher than Wii games just because they're HD.

It's balls annoying, but we gotta live with it.


well if a game has stunning visuals i think its fair to give it 5 points higher, in comparison to a game that looks like shit.


really this is suppose to ADD too the discussion? ...REALLY?


people have to get over that other people LOVE looking at graphics. Fact: graphics do add to the realism of the game which can (in some games) add to the fun.

Some people love graphics that the wii can not provide and in the graphics part of the review it SHOULD get a low score because people can purchase a better game with better graphics on another console.

Why should mario galaxy get the same score  in the graphics side as ratchet is crazy and maskes no sense. HD graphics do help games get higher scores because it takes time to make it look real and you have that wow factor in games like killzone2 , mass effect, ff13, uncharted etc. these games should NOT have the same score as wii games in the graphics part of the review.

A reviewer has to score, and compare the game to what is out there already. if i own killzone 2 then why would i want the next new FPS on wii? thats what the reviews scores are trying to say.

Also all reviewers rate Nintendo games basied anyway so its not just the HD consoles.

If we follow your logic, then every DS and PSP games should have shitty scores in comparison to PS360 games. That makes no sense at all.

Additionally, console power has never been the most important factor in a console generation. The 2600, NES, PS1, PS2 and Wii have all "won" the generation, despite being the least powerful system, or at least, not the most powerful. The only time the more powerful system really won was the Super Nintendo, and, IIRC that was reasonably close with the Genesis winning until Sega went nuts and imploded by creating the "expansion of the month" club for the Genesis/Mega Drive.

 

I don't think it's a rule that the least powerful console wins, but I do think it shows that graphics are far from a major factor in sales. Price, games, and innovation (think ROB launching the NES, and, obviously, the Wiimote) play a much bigger factor.

 

Graphics and overall power are more of a talking point for companies and fanboys than major sales points. Heck, with the Wii, Nintendo has shown that one can "win" a console generation without even using "next-gen" processing power, with the Wii being closer to the original Xbox than the 360.


All that is true but doesnt explain why reviewers doesnt compare graphics of DS/PSP games to PS360 games but they are doing so with the Wii.
