It's not because it's positive, it's because it's not objective. It reads as an attempt to persuade, not inform. As such, I'd rather see this clearly labled as an editorial.
This line, for instance:
"Microsoft cemented it last week at Gamescom: you should really own an Xbox One if you give a hoot about high-quality console gaming."
It falls into lecturing the consumer based on the writer's opinion of someone who cares about gaming, even to the point of ignoring financial constraints.
I don't really have any strong feelings about this either way but I do think the writer could do with a bit more research into how this type of article is normally phrased. For example, a headline you often see for this type of article would be, "Why now might be a good time to buy an Xbox One." A seemingly small difference, perhaps, but it goes from banging the reader over the head with the writer's opinion to being helpful and informative.
