Let me rephrase: "You need to meet other people than die-hard Nintendo fans if you wish to understand why top 50 isn't solely Nintendo games".

Uh-huh... that's a statement based on a false premise.

For one, I don't have a problem with a top 50 not exclusively consisting of Nintendo games, and two, not even a collective of die-hard Nintendo fans would have a Nintendo-exclusive top 50.

The reason why the Game Informer list isn't good is that it skews too heavily to recent PS and Xbox games. It swaps the overrepresentation of Nintendo games on the VGC list for underrepresentation of Nintendo games.

By the way, last year we managed to figure out why the VGC lists have been so Nintendo-heavy. It's because the hosts had been using a points system to skew the results in favor of Nintendo games. So the main culprit for the results were actually not PS and Xbox fans prefering to complain about the results instead of participating in the event; sure, those people remain a factor, but most of the blame has to be put on the rigged points system.

Ok.
