Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is the "top stories" section on VGChartz sponsored by nintendo?

1. The Halo 3 maps and NGII misssions (off-topic: YES!) are extra content. Animal Crossing and Captain Rainbow are actual games. It's not hard to see that the latter two take precedence.

2. You have a point on the Activision thing, in my opinion.

3. There's plenty of news in the forums. You're not being deprived.

4. If you don't like the situation, don't just bitch about it. Submit news.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa...whats all this about Ninja Gaiden 2 mission mode?



... because this is a "Sales" site. :)



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Less people who own console = Less people who care about console

It took me years to wrap my mind around this theory, but I have confidence you can to do it.

Wasn't VGC looking precisely for more contributors dedicated to Sony and Microsoft news not too long ago?

If anyone is unhappy with the current situation of news, they should ask if they can become contributors. I think they would be welcome.

Whining like a little girl demanding a pony for Christmas = free and effortless

Doing some hard work looking for worthwhile news and presenting it in a interesting way = boring

The site is full of wii fans including many of the mods so that's what you get. You should go to Eurogamer and Edge for M$ news. They provide the best of the best!

Top stories are just the ones that are getting the most hits per some given amount of time. Any story from the Submissions section can become a top story if people are interested in it enough. This is also a main reason that Nintendo may be highly represented, due to the population of the site and the percentage that are Nintendo fans.

 

Despite those who have disagreed with you this is absolutely correct.  While I was still just a contributer I had a couple articles hit the top stories section and one hit the #1 spot and stay there for around 2 days.

you've been a member for quite some time, and you barely noticed... lol



@ Rol

But why have 5 or 10 Ninty contributors in the first place?

How hard is it to copy/paste a press release from Sony/MS?

If I were going from this site, you'd think that no PS360 games were being announced. Somehow GH DS got a story, but Rock Band 2 didn't?

WTF



So top story becomes a story which is most viewed? Ok then this makes sense...Wii is the dominant force on these forums.  I thought there was a moderator somewhere at VGchartz deciding what is important and what is a top story and what isnt.
