Um...lol, I'm in the business of writing reviews, but I'll agree with that statement. I try my hardest, as I'm sure some others do, to remain fair and open-minded, but it all comes down to what you want in a game, and what you like in games. My opinion isn't going to mean much if it doesn't match your preferences.
Now, the list that you showed is not only a low quantity of games, but they're all games from Capcom, except Time Splitters 2, which I believe was Eidos at the time. If you compare sales from American publishers, such as EA, you'll find a substantial PS2/Xbox advantage over the GCN. I'm not bashing the Cube, it just doesn't seem to match the other two in 3rd party sales.
You bring up a good point there... and those were mostly Asian published games, and EA and Ubi might have better sales on other consoles. Still, whatever helps that platform.
And I understand reviews are, as I stated earlier, as helpful as HIV. Yet SEGA members, like gaunletlegends ESPECIALLY, take these reviews into mind, and completely trust the reviewer's words. He'll buy anything that gets an 8.0 or above. What's funny is that throughout this entire generation, the only game he was ever fond of was Resident Evil 4. H hated Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Sonic Heroes, Baten Kaitos, hell, even Viewtiful Joe! That's pretty harsh there, he IS entitled to his own opinion, but still, that's pretty amazing. I think he set his expectations too high.
