Came across this video. Very good points made here. Gaming journalism sure is in the shitter right now.

I think it was. Then they realized how much harm they did and changed their stance. It's more fair, now.



The media goes with the leader and criticizes the loser. The same thing happened with PS3 and 360.



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

The people complaining about media bias are usually the most biased themselves.

Was gonna watch it, but it's 13 mins long and the guy effectively killed my interest before the 1st was even up.
Sure some people in the media are biased, but they all have different biases so to suggest everyone is ganging up on the Xbox One seems a little silly to me.


Lol what was so bad about the guy?

MS seems to have escaped criticism for their lack of exclusives for the first 2/3 of this year, their first party efforts, which have been few and far between for the last two years, and have successfully convinced a lot of news sites that only the holidays count. They were rightly criticized after the reveal, but since then I think if anything they have been given an easy ride. That being said, I only see the news posted on here, gaf and reddit, so they may be getting unfairly treated elsewhere, I'm only judging by the limited amount I have seen.



Some have Sony bias, some have MS bias, some have Nintendo bias, some tell it how it is, some are angry at everything and some see good in eveything that is about games.

Bias in the industry sure. But media on the whole biased against Xbox One, no.

The guy put it pretty well himself. "What we have are a bunch of biased people complaining that others have a bias."

yeah after a big backlash everyone pulls in the opposite direction equally strong.  It happened after X1 reveal and now it's happening with the DCEU in film.  Hipsters come out in droves to go against the popular opinion.
