A lot of the accusations of this site being Wii-biased DO come from fanboys who haven't followed the numbers from a variety of sources, or looked into what press-release numbers mean. For those of us who have followed some numbers, we know this site is as extensive and accurate as there is out there. But for those who want to attack the site, having the main face of the site named "Wii gamer" basically hands them their ammo. Certainly, people will always attack the site blindly, that can't be avoided. But the site must purposefully avoid even the appearence of bias, or it will empower these people.

Well if they know Wii_gamer is "the creator" of the site, what will changing his name do now? Everyone's gonna know who really started the site even if he changes his name. I think most of the accusations about this site being Wii-biased come from people who visit the forums, and that's us talking, not Wii_gamer usually. This is the best place to get sales info...if people in other forums don't trust this site because an admin's name is Wii_gamer...then there's not much we can do.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

I think this is all a load of BS. The reason people "perceive" this site to be Wii biased, is because the *numbers* are skewed towards the Wii - COMPARED TO OTHER CHARTS SITES OUT THERE. When I first came here, I was closely studying the numbers presented here vrs other chart sites (http://nexgenwars.com/ is an obvious one). I decided that not only did this site have the best/most stats - it had the CLOSEST stats to the real figures (IMHO). If the admin changes his tag to "Sony loving PS3 fanboy" people will still think this is a Wii biased site. Simply because the current numbers favor the Wii!. (Is nexgenwars.com a 360 biased site? surely it is - based on the figures!).

A person should be judged on what they do, not what they say or represent.
...sigh...
