But then again, you're usually looking for ways to undermine the X360 so yeah
No not really, I gave compliments to ATi for their work on the Xenos. It's pretty good for a 2005 GPU, I don't think the lack of EDRAM or sharing bandwidth with the CPU was their call. The basic idea on their part was pretty solid.
However I did criticize Microsoft for claiming the XBox 360 was more powerful than the PS3, claiming anti-aliasing would be free for XBox 360 HD games, claiming XBox 360 failures were well within industry standards, claiming HD DVD or Blu-Ray would be optional on the XBox 360 but that HD DVD is "the high definition format of choice", claiming 6.8 GB per disc is more than enough for HD gaming, etc, etc. And of course I countered blind fanboys which repeat such crap.
There are several different aspects for you to consider. I am not as black & white as you make me out to be. Microsoft with their crap caused a lot of fanboys to ruin a lot of potentially interesting tech discussions.
