This is something a lot of Xbox fans have been talking about of late, especially since the TGA nominations were announced. The general idea is simple, Xbox games get docked ("taxed") points for being Xbox games, and that if Xbox games were Nintendo or PS exclusives, they would be scoring higher.

The idea has been expanded to basically cover all of Xbox, not just games - the idea being that there is a bias against Xbox within the games industry, which is bias that does not exist against PS or Nintendo.

So, GAF - is this concept something you believe is real? Does this "Xbox tax" actually exist?

Are all Xbox fans schizo, or just the ones that post about it online?

Anecdotally speaking, they are. On every place.
