It's sort of a yes and no thing for me, but closer to no.
Issue I have sometimes with places like IGN is when Nintendo announces bad news, they seem to snipe and get it on their website qucikly, but if somebody else does, the either post it or ignore it. I've seen it happen so many times where news is ignored, but then one company is having the finger pointed at them. I think it's because when bad news happen, people grab the oppertunity then they would if it was wonderful news. Sort of like how the news industry works. I think if Nintendo was doing fantastic with Wii U and PS4 wasn't, probably take more notice of Sony.
To fan boys, they just love to get out there and stirr shit up because they can't get at you on the internet. They will come out with comments that wind people up and get away with it. I've slowly learned not to give a crap and move on because when the good news happens, I can come out and say welldone and then they go quiet,
