Reviews like the one from Rolling Stone fall under the "lifestyle" category, which generally means the reviewer is not a specialized industry insider; they review other things and write other articles that have nothing to do with gaming.

Regardless of being a respected publication, Rolling Stone is not where anyone who knows games goes to for opinions and reviews on game related products.

At any rate, the review is practically irrelevant other than to represent Rolling Stone's opinion regarding the XB1. Anyone who actually takes it seriously may as well be reading their reviews in Maxim, Details or even Better Homes and Gardens.
