Almost all forums on the internet are heavy with playstation. A lot of Playstation gamers use forums. Almost all the 360 owners I know have never set foot in a single forum. I know 3 PS3 buddies all who belong to forums. LOL.

Well, ignoring the fact that today was a Sony PC and noting that N4G is always like that...

 

the general issue is, that when you let the fans vote on articles... if your fanbase for your site is disproportinatly one group of fans....

You are going to end up with nothing but junk bias articles.


But if junk bias articles is what the community wants, then let them have it that way. Why is this site popular amongst people who don't like junk bias articles? Why visit the site if they don't like the content? It seems bizarre to me.



Yeah, Sony's Gamescom conference definitely had some role to play here.

But even on a normal day, PS-centric articles tend to be popular on N4G. I'd attribute that partly to the timing of Sony's past successes (the first truly internet-centric generation grew up alongside Sony's consoles, and I would assume a high concentration of those that ended up becoming enthusiast gamers are more in-tune with Sony than the other console manufacturers - it takes time for the others to catch up), and partly due to whatever reasons are causing the ps3 to outsell the other consoles. It makes sense that the console that's currently selling the most is being talked about the most.

Edit:

And I agree with the comment above me.  I've often wondered why people make threads about other websites they don't like.  If you don't like them, post here or elsewhere instead.  Not much reason to bring your discontent to other boards with you.  If you don't like the content there, why talk about it here?

I don't... but it's still hilarious to see how biased a site for "gamers" is so biased, but whatever, they can keep it like that! It doesn't hurt me.

Btw, MBP, are you an N4G member?

Nah, infact I've only visited the site once. As you know, it''s very pro-sony, so it didn't appeal to my tastes.



This has not much to do with a sony conference. Go to IGN 1UP Gametrailers gamespot whatever site you want sure those sites have more sony than usual but no where near 70 - 100% ,

I dont expect Nintendo or MS to show up right now (because they were not at gamescom) but hell there is something else on this planet than sony, What about Activision Ubi Ea Capcom whatever.

(Im not hating on Sony look at my pic Im annoyed of this N4G crap)

Why exactly is N4G featured on VG again? Thats my problem. Im more annoyed that VGchartz shows that N4G crap all the time Im not visiting N4G and complaining about it Im complaining about it being featured on VG because its biased.
So I dont think im bringing it to other boards because its basically concerning this site/board.

Imho VG should consider removing N4G and adding some site thats less biased...

I mean they could add some commercials on the same place thats now occupied by the N4G "news" and it would be of more use it would even generate some income lol



It doesn't help that both Nintendo and Microsoft are neglecting Gamescom



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

if it was the community choosing the top articles than they wouldn't let sony doom and gloom articles go for a week and 2 days. Today was also gamescom and sony was the most watched than ubisoft and ea and capcom. Nintendo and microsoft would have been in the top articles if they were at gamescom but they weren't. Even shacknews(non biased) was writing A lot about sony because sony made the most announcements today. capcom one new ip. Ea nothing new. Ubisoft just new trailers for assassins creed 3 and liberation and nothing else
