I'm surprised how games such as:
Bioshock Infinite
Uncharted 3
Grand Theft Auto series (especially V)
Halo series
The Last of Us
Half Life 2
Gran Turismo series
Gears of War series
get ranked so low and Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong games are so high! In my opinion this site is clearly Nintendo biased whereas everyone keeps saying it's Sony Biased |
To be honest I was pleasantly surprised at how Xbox centric titles such as Halo and Gears of War did. As we all know the Xbox community here isn't as large as our Nintendo or PlayStation communities.
As for how the titans of each company performed, I think there's an interesting distinction within the Sony fanbase. Unlike Nintendo fans, who for the most part universally love the major Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Pokemon, Sony fans (at least from the lists I see) fall into two camps. Western developed fans (with the God of Wars, Uncharteds, and The Last of Us') and Eastern developed fans (with the Final Fantasies and Metal Gear Solids). The tastes of the PlayStation fans aren't as universal as with the Nintendo fans, so that's something to consider as well.

Agreed, and I've also noticed Japanese titles performing far better than Western titles on this site in terms of these rankings. That couldbe due to the large Japanese userbase we have on this webiste even if some of them live in North America.

I think a part of that also has to do with the lack of PC gamers. As well as what you said.
before Xbox/PS2, a lot of famous western devs were PC centric.
Games like Planescape Torment, System Shock, Fallout 2, Baulder's Gate II which are a lot of times at the top of the lists are completely absent from the list. These are generally regarded like the FF6 or Chrono Trigger of WRPG's during that same time period.
(Not saying they are that good, just what is typical. I think out all those games I only put Planescape Torment in my list).
SMEAGS did an awesome job though.
