Legend, I don't consider 1UP accurate on Nintendo reviews, but that's because they have a statistical bias against Nintendo games which is easily viewable on gamerankings. Their PS3 and 360 reviews are only slightly lower than average, so they should be relatively accurate. This isn't a difficult concept to understand Legend, and although you enjoy trolling anyone who complains about inconsistency in 1UP reviews, you have yet to explain why people should trust their Wii reviews when they are statistically significantly lower than average.

Hes got a point naz

IGN has what a +4% on wii games compared to game rankings? Should we consider them pro Wii? Im guessing we shouldnt trust theres cause its higher?


Please don't make up BS numbers. It really makes you look awful when people pull out the real ones.

IGN 360 +0.8%
IGN PS3 +0.6%
IGN Wii -0.4%

1UP 360 -4.2%
1UP PS3 -4.4%
1UP Wii -9.3%

Their Wii scores have signifficant (almost a full point) statistical deviation. There is very good reason not to trust 1UP's Wii game reviews. Now please don't make up BS again if you want to continue this debate.


1st off naz, your being a complete and utterless ass as usual, i dont understand where the hell you get pissed then take it out on other people who are not pro wii. If pro nintendo people pull shit out of there ass (countless predictions) wheres the degrading of them?

I should of put the word IF at the begining of the first sentence, and its also why i put a question mark. IM saying lets say IGN is pro wii, would the pro nintendo fans complain? Hes got a point the fact that they dont agree with any site that "hurts" there best games average ranking. Calling them biased, but if a site is pro wii, of course its accurate etc. It works for all fanboys, on all sides and what im pointing out.

Im fine with you correcting me since i didnt say it right, but as of late youve been a real acting like a real asswhole. Calling me stupid the other day for my opinions was rediculas. Go both ways, next time a nintendo fanboy says crap out of their ass, beat down on them.


First of all, this is your warning. I never called you any names, so don't call me an asshole. I don't tolerate insults whether it's against me or anyone else. Second, I correct people who have incorrect data, regardless of console. I certainly didn't buy into the "SMG outsell Halo 3 week 1" or the Wii Fit equivelent, and I pointed out that SMG's week 1 Japanese sales were disappointing. I just want logic Tears, and you are ruining that by making up things to prove your point. Obviously the fact that I defend IGN as accurate despite them not being vastly "pro Wii" as you put it shows that I'm not looking for a site with a +10% Wii review score average. I'm not going to be reading Nintendo Power over them anytime soon.

ckmlb, 1UP has more statistical margin of average error in their reviews for the Wii than the 360 and PS3 combined. I said they have a statistical bias. I never once said 1UP hates the Wii. I said their Wii scores are innacurate, and the data supports that completely.

If those scores supposedly shift throughout the generation then why have they been consistent for the last 6 months, when you started this argument with me? Obviously given the amount of Wii games in existence it's not really possible for 1UP to end up showing that statistical bias on mere chance. They simply are innacurate compared to the other 100 or so "credible" review sources out there. If their scores were low accross the board you could say they simply score harsher on everything, but clearly the Wii scores get affected in a major way. So, whether you like it or not, 1UP is a crappy place to go for Wii scores.

As far as the overall quality of their reviews go, I think their Wii reviews are poorly written as well. They gave Fire Emblem a 9, but they completely failed to justify a score that high in their review. They also often contradict themselves within their reviews, and compare games to other unrelated games on different platforms.

Also, fkusumot your data is inaccurate. Use http://www.gamerankings.com/itemrankings/sites.asp
