I think the list has a bias towards Microsoft because it is one of the companies they currently have staff covering. There is NO WAY Xbox or Xbox 360 should be that high, they don't appeal to the majority of gamers, who aren't hardcore/L337/nerd/haxxor/uber or whatever you people call yourselves, Noreen have they revolutionized anything.
PSX ruled a generation and did a HELL of a lot more than Xbox and Xbox 360 did combined. This generation, it makes more sense to have the Wii up there. They expanded the horizons of gaming whereas Xbox 360 and PS3 just borrowed things already made popular from both Nintendo and the PC gaming industry, revolutionizing nothing. Consumers also voted Wii number 1 this generation by an astonishing margin.
Besides, IGNs bias has shined through all the time when reviewing games. Unfortunately, IGN and Gamespot have a strong hold on gaming media, and so many smaller sites usually minimally play the games and then paraphrase IGN's review even when the vast majority of game players on each of those games disagree.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
