Independent gaming website Gamepur on Monday called into question whether Pete Dodd's efforts to launch an independent website of his own are truly needed.
While some gamers have grown disillusioned with the mainstream gaming press, Gamepur committed the kind of responsible journalism for which people have been clamoring. Not content to accept Dodd's ramblings at face value, Gamepur tracked down a secondary source -- one Pete Todd -- to confirm Dodd's claims.
Wrote Gamepur's Sehran Shaikh: "Pete Todd said that currently Batman: Arkham PS4 vs Xbox One pre-orders stands at 4:1 ratio in United States.
"I was told last night by a guy at MS that Batman is being preordered, in the US, to the tune of 4 to 1 in favor of the PS4 currently." Todd wrote on NeoGaf."Shaikh also asked Todd to comment on a rumor about Titanfall sales... yet despite the independent confirmation went on to include this disclaimer in his article: "Dodd has a good track record of being spot on with his inside information but we still advice or readers to take it with a grain of salt and consider this as a rumors. However considering the current market scenario this recent information revealed by Dodd sounds believable."
That's the kind of sound advise that's elevating the medium. Eat your heart out, Dodd Scientifics.
Dodd hates California
@daegan @Wario64 Pacific is bullshit.

Despite being the home of Hollywood, one eighth of the U.S. population and the Google bus, Pete Dodd revealed Tuesday that he hates California and, moreover, all denizens of the Pacific Time Zone, including his corporate overlords at Microsoft.
We're not sure what prompted Dodd's outburst, but we're stunned and disappointed by his divisive commentary. That said, screw you Salem, Oregon.
