Playstation "360 is more impressive" Playstation Magazine ( PSM )

[devilscallmedad]

PlayStation-centric US magazine PSM has put PS3 and Xbox 360 through a series of rigorous tests in a "definitive head-to-head comparison," and has come out with what must be a surprising result for subscribers: the next-gen console war is a dead heat. PSM offers a balanced case for pledging your allegiance to either platform, even roping in the editor-in-chief of the US Official Xbox Magazine to defend Xbox 360. Although, with one section pointing out that "PS3 wins if... You're a loner who doesn't plan to use community features much," it seems the barbed comments have been reserved for PS3.
After admitting that "360 is more impressive [in terms of having 'big' games]" and the Xbox interface "offers a lot more functionality than PS3's," we had to double check the flannel panel to make sure that Peter Moore hadn't sneaked a spot as the month's special guest writer.

360 is more impressive at THIS time for having the big games but that won't last forever.

 

[devilscallmedad]

I don't think there is any mention as of "at this time". I think both consoles have equal number of exclusive big games.

Halo 3
Gears Of War
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Fable 2

Forza 2
PGR 4

i dont think there needs to be any mention of 'at this time' in the article either.

and the topic title is sort of misleading too, they only rated the 360 higher in the category of having big name games, the overall result was a draw.

AND this is from last month's PSM, not new.

Playstation Magazine ( PSM )

[Chandoo]

i think you posted the wrong message in the wrong topic

 

[USUF]

i dont get it

 

[devilscallmedad]

get what?

i think you posted the wrong message in the wrong topic

nah, you didn't get the joke

 

[Chandoo]

well whatever the case, the joke was sort of wrong to be posted to begin with seeing as how the entire concept of this topic is wrong.

 

[devilscallmedad]

as how the entire concept of this topic is wrong.

umm what? PSM says 360 is more impressive in terms of games and interface what's wrong with the concept here?

 

[Chandoo]

actually im talking about this topic, which has a very misleading title to begin with, PSM rated 360 higher in the category of having 'big name games' not overall

 

[devilscallmedad]

on two counts better games, better interface/live. and that's pretty much saying the 360 is better. they just summed up they are equal otherwise they could get in trouble with sony other than that.

it seems the barbed comments have been reserved for PS3.

better big name games, not better games, live is a duh for now. Assuming too much eh devil lol.

what you dont see in the news articles as such are the rest of the categories which they were compared in. They even called in xbox magazine's staff to judge the results.

Misleading topic title. FTW.
