Long time VGC users should remember when the site was Nintendo dominated in terms of news and volume of posts. Activity and participation seems to boil down to the sales and popularity.

I noticed that most of the hardcore Nintendo fans disappeared by or around 2010 after the Wii's fortunes shifted.
Not surprisingly, this was around the time that the PS3 left the endangered list and started outselling the XB360 and Wii.

As more VGC users joined, many of them happened to be new PS3 owners in keeping with the sales trends. There were simply more PS3 owners on VGC because there were more PS3 owners overall.

And now that the PS4 is dominating sales, it only looks more like the console that is selling the most has the most fans and post activity. It's not really surprising at all and it's not exactly biased either; this activity simply reflects the sales trends that VGC tracks.
