This is actually a very interesting point. Right now most "neutral" gaming sites, are filled with Sony fanboys, upvoting everything positive about Sony, and downvoting anything negative about Sony, regardless of rationality. I remember back in 2009 or so, when the fanboys were more even between Xbox and Playstation, which then accurately represented the sales of the consoles as well. While I believe most of those are younger kids, who feel more strongly about the console their parents bought them, this kind of attitude seems to spread. People just like to hear positive things about their choice of console. In community driven places like this, it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem though, and since we have more people past their puberty and a lot of people who were gamers long before the turn of the millenium, there is a lot more varied and reasonable discussions here.
As to the OP. The majority of video game consumers, do not go to online forums and talk about games. We are the minority, the most passionate about games, and do not represent the majority.

What a lovely written piece ^^
Anyway, I agree.

No we do not represent "gamers nor does the majority represent them, why because the majority isn't some ubiquitous entity , it changes over time and depending on what section you are looking at
What we do have here is not some authoritive body that dictates what is or isn't canon in the world of games, but simply a group of gamers who's knowledge of gaming and sales is above the norm , and like all hobbiest's we like having a platform to discuss our hobby.
