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. |
100% agree with what you say except that most people buying a console are not true gamers and don't get their opinion in specialized press... so those kind of reviews are extremely relevent... heck oprah and ellen degenerese opinion are probably more important to MS and Sony than the one of IGN....

I kinda lol'd at that part because it is actually very true; within a certain context.
