No bloody kidding. You'd think that's what journalist did or something.

Why do they need to write a retraction? Did they make up horrible hurtful things about Don Mattick's family so they have to apologise? They are going to be pointing out their decision by analytical journalism, which isn't really something that can be retracted as they've got nothing to retract. It's opinion based on known facts.

 

Why do you feel you need to defend them so much, do you have shares in Edge or Sony?

No shares. Future PLC would be stupid to invest in, magazine market as a whole is shrinking. Sony are climbing so might be worth it but alas, I've no idea how to buy them.

This said, I'm defending the journalists that many here think are so without integrity they'd take money from Sony to publish this article. It's like people assume just because they are a magazine they aren't allowed to have an opinion, even if it's backed up with facts that affect them. 

Not sure why you're quoting me then as I've made it quite clear I have no problem with them posting their opinion, I merely said I'd laugh in future if they're wrong which is my perogative as a consumer.  Funny enough I've got a pre order for a XBO and not a PS4 so their opinion that the PS4 is the "only" choice right now is ridiculous in my opinion and according to the facts that I have available to me.  The fact that I'm a consumer arguably gives me more weight than someone out to sell a magazine.  It's pretty clear that there are plenty of reasons that it is not the "only" choice right now and that's a fact, hence why people are still pre ordering the XBO.  The headline is simply their opionion, it isn't fact.
