Eurogamer- They Are Biased Against The Wii... Their Reviews Prove It

@Zenfoldor; consider this; the Eu/Others region probably houses over 3-4 times as many people as NA, so with that in mind Wii sales are not that fantastic over here (nor are the other two for that matter).
And many sites/magazines give praise or critique titles based on platform; Playstation Mag, X-box mag, Nintendo Power, all examples of people who do just that, and it becomes evident when comparing their reviews to others'.
So these folks judge based on their love for the platform rather than the title, but should they not be allowed to rate games because they have bias?
That is far too idealistic an approach I think, so what I generally do is read mostly reviews written by sites/mags that do all platforms and I feel that this gives a clearer picture of things.

Yeah, but the DS sales are, and in particularly the Software sales.

 

I too often tend to read a large amount of reviews before I make my decision. The only game in recent memory I have bought that I didn't read a single review for, and was a spur of the moment purchase I knew nothing about, and bought because of the developer was Advance Wars: Days of Ruin, which I bought yesterday and I freakin' love it.
