Every developer has a certain style for making games. Playstation and Nintendo are very far apart in that regard. Or the new bayonetta and the new god of war, as far as exclusives go. I can imagine someone enjoying let's say resident evil 4 but doesn't like the last of us.

 

Sony's style of games is way more presentation and story driven and tends to blur the line between cinema and game. While Nintendo puts 90% of their focus on gameplay and wave a story etc around that. Nintendo tjeir games will never try to blur lines between games and other media. There are always a few exceptions. But I can see someone enjoying nearly all Nintendo games and disliking near all Sony games or the other way around. It doesn't say much about the quality of the game, just your preferences for one or the other. I like Sony's approach more and I think odyssey is way to weird for me, although botw seems pretty cool, although I still don't like the artstyle.

Exactly, but usually the more biased the person is and think he isn't think he has bias the more he thinks everyone else is biased by not seeing things like him.

How am I biased when I've openly stated that I'm sure I'd like some of Sony or MS's properties if owned their systems...?

I listen to quite a few gaming podcasts - Giant Beast Cast, IGN UK, Game Scoop, DLC, The Besties - most of the journalists involved have been in gaming for a long time and all are obviously passionate about the industry. Do you know how many of them have an aversion to Nintendo games in general? None.

Some of them are into some Nintendo properties more than others but that's natural & the only objective, unbiased view in my opinion.

That's because they just love gaming and are past the adolescent phase of supporting a games corporation like you do a football team...
