So the majority of GameTavern members are Nintendo fans. Surely this isn't a surprise to you. And as Nintendo fans, they are naturally going to be more accepting of good news for the GameCube. Perhaps that's a bad thing, but what do you expect? The posters here are human. If bad news about the Xbox came out, you can't reasonably expect them to try dissecting that news with as much energy as they would attack bad news about the GameCube. It just doesn't work that way unless everybody becomes some sort of enlightened fan of every console equally.
Instead of complaining about a well known bias, why not just try to counteract it? So people raise arguments against these numbers. Argue that these people are wrong. That's what a forum is for. And if you can't make a solid counter-argument, then perhaps these people who are skeptical of EGM's numbers are right.
