> mike, look at my sign, that post may get u banned, u can't post anything negative about microsoft

I am not all that worried about bans, despite I do try my best to behave fairly but always take a stance against people trying to kill freedom of speech. I am aware of past bias (all the mods here seem to be vivid supporters of various products, so that naturally inhibits objectivity and sometimes cry 'trolling'), for example I got banned for saying the Wii is powered similar to a last gen specced console or that the XBox 360 was extremely failure prone in the past.

I think deep down most people now understand such statements to be true and my expressed opinions aren't all that controversial neither. It's just like for example Microsoft persisted on "well within industry standards failures" and some mods at the time  took a stance to support the vivid 360 fan perspective despite all the evidence which was available at the time and so look at the issue of someone afterwards highlighting this fact when proven to be correct from a non-objective perspective.

People were also upset with my technical analysis of the PS3 being technically far more powerful than a XBox 360 despite some lacklustre launch titles (compared to 2nd year 360 games like Gears of War, not its launch titles) and porting issues between the two architectures (in part due to Microsoft promoting inefficient/worse portable coding techniques). But today with people seeing games like Motorstorm Apocalyse or Killzone 3 demonstrated on a 3D LED HDTV the bulk of such people are without doubts.

Something insisted on being a controversial statement today may tomorrow be considered plain common sense. Like claiming Iraq did not really have huge amount of weapons of mass destruction back in the day by experts.

I think one thing is absolutely true despite what actions of moderators here might suggest, the PS3 is the most trolled against games console this generation (especially with massive misinformation, but also in part due to Microsoft with the fake technical analysises in the past suggesting the 360 was far far more powerful than a PS3 or that they unlike Sony provide better HD movie support choices, despite reality is reversed).



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
