I was at a gamestop today and a guy and his girlfriend were standing talking about the next gen PS4 and X1.

The guy said he wanted an X1 and the chick jumped all over him saying that X1 didn't allow you to trade in games and was 25% the power of the PS4, and X1 did not have any games.

After listening to that eye opening conversation, the first thing I thought of is how everyone stomped all over MS for its DRM decisions and then how there has been very few articles to recast the truth about X1 now that MS reversed their decisions.

To me, that shows that gaming media is very lopsided. And it goes both ways. Sony was cast as the bad guy last gen, now it is MS. The reality is that coverage should be much better balanced and reflective of the broad 250,000,000+ people that bought consoles not just the PS or XB or Wii fanboys that mascarade as balanced journalists.
