Why can't you Sony fans understand that we need a helping hand here? You Sony fans on staff too.
Is this how VGC should be? To just let the dominating faction take over the site while the others just are sitting there feeling uncomfortable.
The only thing you come with, the ONLY thing - even you in staff (who should kinda represent the site)- is to say 'hey do it yourself, we ain't gonna support you'.
This comes off as a 10 year old complaining to his mom that his brother took more toys than he was supposed to....
I really hope the amount of PS3 news gets cut back because a 360 fan doesn't like seeing it. I would like to see more 360 news too, but going about it in this way just seems like whining that a certain side isn't "winning".

over what period? can you do the last 6 months? |
Since when the first news post was posted.
Doing the past 6 months i would have to go through and count every single news for each company. Not gonna happen 
BTW, i got those numbers just by clicking whatever company i wanted to see. Example - Nintendo
| Carl2291 said: Just wanted to point this out. Total Microsoft related News articles - 3,521 Total Sony related news articles - 3,920 Total Nintendo related news articles - 4,010 Now, take into account that Sony have more consoles on the market than anyone else... The TOTAL numbers difference isn't really as bad as you are making it sound. |
No that's not correct. Even the orange ones are tagged with Sony and Microsoft (which gives you the result 3,920 when you search all Sony artciles). Theres several times more red ones than green ones..
On the main page we have announcement of Heavy Rain demo along with a date.
We have Uncharted 2 DLC news.
We have Uncharted + Uncharted 2 bundle pack announcement for Japan.
We have Upcoming PSP titles for 2010.
We have God of War 3 European PS3 bundle and Collectors edition pack shots.
Which of these is bad and should be omitted?

You do not get the point do you??? There's a difference between one news about a new batch of Mass Effect screenshots or bundle, and 6 or 7 for Heavy Rain. And okay, if you only go by the hits, that's fine. But maybe you should listen to people who not only cares for hits, but cares about professionalism, fairness and balance? I can only say that if I was a contributor, I would feel very cheap and dishonest for spamming every batch of new screens I found about my favorite game just because I could. That's very unprofessional in my opinion. |
I have been going to this site for a long time also. Yes there does seem to be a small amout of ps3 than 360 in general. It has gotten to be a huge amount in the past couple months but that isnt without reason.
The 360 exclusives that i can think of is
While Ps3 has
If you want to argue that is awsome, but i would not say blame the staff. I read about xbox 360 and ps3. Both are good systems. PS3 has alot of stuff comming out this year and more info is being released.
I am sorry that 360 isnt making a mass effect bundle that is being released but take that up with them. Look at the exclusives and the amount of content AVAILABLE before you complain.
| Slimebeast said: I would always ask myself "is this news worthy? Does it contribute to anything significant? Do the readers need this? Are we giving a balanced picture here?" I would not go for it and post everything I liked just because it gives the site hits. I really didn't knew about such a policy, that hits are so important. That's sad. At the same time most of you people have the nerve to complain that game developers and publishers are repeating the same formula and only think about their sales in front of creativity, originality and artistic integrity. |
The last question you'd ask yourself is irrelevant, imagine we were on the PS2 gen, would you complain there are more PS2 news? No. Put it simple, now there have been more PS3 news, the "balance" is irrelevant because no one stops posting anything because "it's unbalancing". As for the other questions, let's take an example with some HR screenshots
Is this news worthy? Yes, the game is quite anticipated in this site, and it hasn't been posted before
Does it contribute to anything significant? Yes, because people would want to see them
Do the readers need this? Considering they read them, evidently they care
There. And I just proved that that is something a news poster asks himself before posting a news. Don't you think I wonder if something is "news worthy" before posting, and discard an article if I think it's not?
| dirkd2323 said: I knew the success of the PS3 was going to upset the 360 fans. Its simple at this time the PS3 has more going on news wise. You have the continued sales dominations between the HD consoles, exclusive game news, 3rd party game news, Japan Releases which PS3 has much more then 360, DLC news, Bundle news, I mean I could go on, being a suporter of both the PS3 and 360, its more that the PS3 is on Fire at this time, sales are up, and there staying up, lots of great exclusives comming soon, MAG, GOW3, Halo Reach is a ways away. The bottom line is there is much more to talk about PS3 wise. 360 fans don't get upset the 360 has had its share of greatness, now the light is shinning in PS3 thats life. |
I guess your right lol.
| Squall_Leonhart said: You are very upset because there aren't that many articles aimed at the 360 than there are that are aimed at the PS3... Isn't that a bit... well... sad? |
We should be friends... Wait we R :D Love your humour... My thoughts exactly - but to the whole M$ Squad :P Sad :(
