I thought we were joking?
Well ok then, here goes: The bias isn't there. Simple as that. The fact that they gave perfect scores to a wide range of games on different platforms makes it hard to suggest some sort of pro-Nintendo bias. This also plays into something that about everyone knows of Edge Magazine, they don't give out perfect scores easily. So hence why I showed the data to make the point.
But hey, let us not pretend that this is not a thread about people getting upset over a score, and let's talk about the bias the outlet might have. Please let's.

Pretty sure you weren't joking when you pointed out to look at "what I suggested. Wow."
I'm not saying that there definitely is or isn't bias against a particular platform. I'd have to go through each individual reviewers scoring history and taste to get a better understanding of them. Because there are different people with different tastes behind different reviews. But feel free to declare one way or another.
I don't care what this topic is for. All I said to you was that looking back 20 years in time when the staff could have been completely different doesn't say much about how they operate today.
Furthermore, only looking at perfect 10 scores eliminates the vast majority of reviews. Including the one that's in focus today.

I made an edit about 3 minutes later (I was busy to), but you were too fast in your quotation. But now I see that there was no joke at play here.
That is exactly why it is ridiculous to claim that Edge is biased against a platform. Exactly because of what you said. It is a ridiculous claim, and me posting perfect scores suggest that they are rather diverse in their scoring and consistent over the years up until today, don't you agree?
Well the original idea here is that Edge is biased, or pro Nintendo. So that is what I commented on. Now going on to general scores (today of course), it still doesn't hold up as they are again very diverse across all platforms. The other person (barkley) can compare meta scores and Edge scores of Nintendo games and get about the same results. That they typically score lower than MC.
