Don't feel bad for abandoning IGN, so has 75% of the rest of their audience

I really, really doubt Nintendo fans make up that much of IGN's audience. No game since Brawl would have garnered a significant amount of hits.

That's the reason IGN and most other sites are focusing on the HD systems.  The Nintendo have the most marketshare and sell the most software, but the people who read their site consider themselves 'hardcore' and mostly stick to the 360/PS3/PSP.  And most of the review sites out now are trying to cater to these people.

Even if these people are fickle and many of them also own the Wii.  Its a pretty short-term strategy for gaining site attention if you ask me because next gen, they have to rely on hate and 'anti-Nintendo' bias to run their site.  And if Nintendo comes out on top again...that might not work very well.  Especially if next gen Nintendo comes out with a more powerful system focused more on graphics (as they've been hinting at) and people feel betrayed by the next Sony and/or MS offerings, which are already making sharp turns to immitate Nintendo and hinting their next systems won't be such a huge leap in technology as this gen.
