Sources

Every answer on this site names the page it came from. This is the whole list, sorted by how close each page is to the fact it supports, and the one place that explains how sources are rated.

How a source is rated

  1. First-party carries a fact. A store field or an official post, written by the platform holder, the publisher or the studio itself, can support a claim on its own.
  2. Relayed is never alone. A source that restates someone else cannot turn a claim into a confirmed one. Where only one outlet says something, the sentence says which.
  3. Not found is an answer. When no source was found, the page writes Not found and says what would change that. It does not fill the gap with a guess.
  4. Disagreements stay open. Where two sources differ, both versions are printed, as with the two ways of writing the release day on the release-date page.
  5. Quotation marks mean word for word. Every sentence in quotation marks is copied from the source it is attributed to, and the build fails if a quote stops matching its recorded passage.

First-party

The platform holder, the publisher or the studio, in its own store field or post. A fact can stand on one of these alone, which is why the unlock times, the platform board and the prices are built from them.

Reporting

A publication’s own review, interview or hands-on, with the writer’s words. Where a page leans on one, it names the outlet; the endings page and the length page are the clearest cases.

Relayed

Restates someone else. Never enough alone to call a fact confirmed: a claim that rests only on these is written as Only X reports this, as with the engine on the developer page.

Aggregators

Score and listing pages that summarize others. They are live pages, so a number copied from one will drift; the figures on the review page link back to them for that reason.

Pages marked blocked

2 of the pages above answer scripted requests with an error, which is why an automated link check cannot confirm them. They are marked blocked and are meant to be opened in a browser.
