I disagree.

Also the youtuber seems biased to me based on his uploads and preference for Nintendo/Xbox.

I actually just watched the video (for five mins) and I agree with what he's saying. It's crazy how much I agree, actually. In fact, we actually have the same voice. I'm afraid to see what the guy looks like because he might be a younger version of me that learned time travel.

I think the media has a bias against Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft really. Look at all the pre-release hate The Order received well over a year prior to release. The same thing is happening with Quantum break. Nintendo probably gets let off the most but that is because the Wii U is barely making news on gaming media outlets...

Yeah. After a year, I think Nintendo got a lot of pity from the media.  The damage was already done, though.  They aren't as relevant as they used to be but media outlets can still make or break a console.

Thats the thing, its not an opinion. BG states numerous times that his preference is PlayStation.

I think it's absurb to think that there is some kind of mass conspiracy against the Xbox One. However I certainly agree that some 'journalists' would have jumped on the hate train, for controversial clickbait articles, even on some established sites (we still get them daily from the likes of gamingbolt).

Generally on more respected sites the articles are mixed and balanced, including some very positive (rightly so) coverage of Xbox One around E3, some negative coverage of PS4 (e.g. lack of AAA first party this fall/winter).



PS, PS2, Gameboy Advance, PS3, PSP, PS4, Xbox One

So kinda like how a few around here say that their "preference" is PC when that's only cover to hide their bias. You do realize that people can say one thing and do another thing entirely, right?

Agreed. There is just not much to report on with the Wii U. Much like the Vita.
