I think it might be because Video Games are more mainstream, hence more people?

1. Gaming has a larger fanbase than comics?
2. Comicvine probably didn't get as much exposure as GiantBomb did - Gerstmann Gate

I'd say it would have to do a lot with the fact GB's staff is comprised of ex-GSers which draws a huge fanbase.  Not to mention that comics get nowhere near the same level of exposure mainstream though this is thankfully changing thanks to the comic->movie trend of late.

More people seem to have more interest in video games than comic books, I suppose. Maybe it is still considered somewhat new.

Oh, I don't know, perhaps it has something to do with Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, Brad Shoemaker and Vinny Caravella?

Comics just hasn't taken off like it should and gaming is far more popular, so GiantBomb will get much more attention than Comcivine (I've never heard of this before).

Because Giant Bomb's target audience is much larger than Comic Vine's.

Also, you don't have Jeff, Brad, Ryan, and Vinny, do you?

Also, video games are more of an online phenomenon than comics. There are online comics, but it's not like how gaming can be online.

They should make a video game out of Y The Last Man where you have to go cross country fighting Amazons and evil scientist ninjas.

Games are better than comics, because in games you shoot dudes, and in comics, you look at pictures of dudes getting shot.

And comics you have to be able to read...........so that does exclude a lot of people.

Okay, the whole literacy angle doesn't work, because there is hellatext in a lot of video games, and illiterate people can get their enjoyment of comics by looking at the pretty pictures.

Also keep in mind that Captain Cascader and RedLAMP worked on both sites.  I'm on both also.  No need for this to be a "site war."  Comic Vine = Whiskey Media = Giant Bomb.

It shouldn't be a site war, it should be a medium war. Comic Vine is great and all, but it has the same problem movies have and TV has, it's not interactive.
