Wii U takes top chatter spot in GameTrailers' GDEX rankings

While it's cool to see this kind of data on Wii U, I'm not sure what it really means in the overall scheme of things. It's just the chatter going on over at GameTrailers. On top of that, I really don't care for how they're presenting some of these stats. Case in point...

WOW! Would you look at that! Nintendo's Wii U has made the full comeback and taken over the top slot in the console war – surpassing Sony's PlayStation 4 with 79 overall points on the GDEX this week. This is likely due to social chatter from fans of opposing consoles that are clogging the airwaves with negative sentiment regarding their preferred platform's primary competition. In other words – FANBOYS BE TALKIN' SMACK!!! While Microsoft and Sony fans duke it out in a war of words, Nintendo's Wii U has slid into the top spot, likely surprising the Big N itself as we ramp up towards the release of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Doesn't it sound like some sort of PR blast from a marketing agency that is trying to stay hip/cool with the kids?
