IGN

G4 has been going down the tubes in gamers minds for years.

QFT.



It effects the sales of the crowd that is loyal to the review site, they all have a decent pull, I for one hate gamespot, but like the editors for IGN so I go for IGN's reviews, but I also look X-play, and Game Trailers just in case the review on IGN doesn't sound like an issue I would gripe on. They all can have a equal amount of pull in my opinion, the different types of crowds become loyal to a couple of sources usually, from game to game it changes as certain sites find a game they like and stick to it so the crowd following that game check out that sites coverage till it is released, so that site might have more pull over that game, but it can hop around.

If anything has the most pull it's advertisement and image all the way, Halo is not the best FPS and got amazing sales, getting your name out there is the key, and wrap it in a package everyone would like.

Also G4 hits are the lowest due to it being a TV channel, their site plainly stinks, in layout and ease of use, watching is just better.

I check IGN every day, Xplay, probably every two years.
So i think IGN, or looking on site traffic, gamespot has more value to the consumers decisions
