I understand where you're coming from Euphoria, but... because this is a rare occurence of the PS3 version being "superior", everyone is damage controlling that fact to divert attention away to what has happened:

THEY USED AN ADVERTISEMENT WITH FALSE FOOTAGE FOR THE 360 VERSION. THE ANALYST IS SIMPLY SAYING THAT SINCE THEY WERE CALLED OUT FOR IT, THERE COULD BE NEGATIVE BACKLASH. NOT THAT THE PS3 WILL SUDDENLY HAVE DOZENS MORE "SUPERIOR" MULTIPLATS. THAT IS ALL!

I agree with you and that is why I posted this article from Metro.

I also think MS is brought into the whole picture because I could have sworn they paid for western advertising, thus the reason the commercial do not mention PS3 in any form, with that being why using PS3 footage is a big deal.
