"There are gamers who like the wii and who don't like the wii."

Reviewers review games, not systems. Unless there is something on the system that actually cripples the enjoyment, and I mean Virtual Boy induced headaches, not just "I don't like waggle", you review the game as it is, not a game on a system.

And I'm wondering now the converse is true, giving games better scores because they are on the 360 or PS3.

I dunno if you can compare the two.

Imagine if you were a movie reviewer. Movies have always been the same, and therefore it was easy to find a balance. Then 3d films became super popular, and were usually more popular for their popping in and out and skipped storyline for the most part. If you, as a movie reviewer were now made to review a lot of these movies as well, how would that work out for you.

My point is, a new reviewer might give higher scores to the HD guys, but an old reviewer has been around those kinds of games for ages. The same games that are on the HD twins are mostly upgraded or new visions of past games and gaming standards. It's debatable. I think, the movie reviewer will just be getting a headache and start to feel contempt for the genre itself, rather than being a huge fan nerd of other, more standard genres.

 

sorry if that was a little metaphorical.
