| Machina said: It's not a case of the site being biased - there's no way you could orchestrate such a bias amongst 16 different people (that's roughly how many active reviewers we have at any one time) and 5 different content editors. It's my view that the scoring differences are less about console preference, and more about how harsh or lenient the reviewer who happens to review a particular game (and own a particular console) is. |
While I agree with your post, this point can be applied to nearly every review site out there - and even more so to an aggregate review site like Metacritic. That doesn't stop a huge number of forum posters from believing in a vast conspiracy of bias against their console of choice.
