lets not go down the route of comparison charts... they are shit.


MS has already taken care of that for us:

::shudders at the memories when Sony tried the same thing with their charts::

Can't end well at all...

Well in that chart, wii has 3 games. You should throw 2 other games to the ps3 and the X360.

Then for the X360 you should throw another X360 controller, and put a *Only two player support*

So at the end... we are still back at the beginning xD

LOL


that just made my day. xD



What's probably the most ridiculous thing about the chart is that its sole purpose is really just to defend a $150 peripheral price, that most will say "is really expensive!"

So the spin would be "but it's actually just like buying 4 CONTROLLERS at once for one low price!"

Which is naturally, still ridiculous.

If MS put those charts at retail, and there wasn't significant small text explaining un-needed additions to go with them, they could quite easily get sued by either Sony or Nintendo.

why.. sony didnt get sued for the same bullshit.

they should all just grow up and stop with the comparisons..

Sony didn't put theirs at retail, and was a lot more informative, and didn't make false claims.

Agreed with second line, I think they it's just the two playing around with each other.

I'm not saying Microsoft's chart is any better, but the ones Sony released were terrible, uninformative, and reeeeeeally skewed the truth.



BBH said:

Lol those charts are borderline illegal as misinformation.

You can't defend them


Yes you can, see the little * at the bottom

Yea, I know.

But from a legal point of view it was still more correct.

Both suck really, and I'd imagine you wouldn't get away with any of them at retail.
