Inherently flawed study, as it's only rating the top 30 games on each (plus multi). You can't claim institutional bias when you're looking at ~5% of the games on these platforms, it's borderline irresponsible. "Journalistic integrity" indeed, lol.

Guess not everyone has the resources to put hundreds of hours into this. Anyway even from these "30" titles, you can see that the graph lines are pretty much static, which can say a lot. These graphs cover pretty much every notable exclusive or release, so we are talking about the "important" titles.

If you care to add more titles, please do so. Until than, you haven't proven any flaw. It's like crying about public opinion research that only covers 50 000 people out of 50 000 000.

If he doesn't have the resources to do an actual comprehensive study, perhaps he shouldn't be casting aspirations of bias?

And actually, upon further inspection it looks like he's not even meeting own criteria for the comparison. For example, Lost Odyssey should be in that 360 list, but it missing despite it's metascore of 78.  EDGE only gave it a 6, meaning it'd also work against his "bias" claims.... how convenient. ;)
