2.  Kinect - I'm looking forward to the improvments.  hopefully the voice commands will be accurate.

And here I present the critique to his 'argument' (of sorts)

Editor’s Letter: CNN Trolls Both PS4 & Xbox One as Journalism Fails Yet Again

July 6, 2013 Written by Sebastian Moss

Editor’s Letter is a series of ongoing articles on the state of PSLS, its future and the future of the industry as a whole.

Over the years, I’ve become pretty used to sites lacking any sort of moral compass and simply pumping out shoddy trash, but it still hurts me every time I see it – especially when it’s from a respected national outlet.

Today CNN sunk to a shocking low, with the same writer publishing these two articles on the same day – ’5 reasons the Playstation 4 will crush the competition’ and ’5 reasons the Xbox One will dominate’. The same writer on the same day.

I’m not even going to bother talking about how both articles are poorly written, needlessly split across multiple pages to force you to click again and again, that he writes Playstation not PlayStation, and that he thinks there are games called Killzone War Zone and Octodad: Deadliest Catch.

Instead, I’m going to talk about what’s wrong with the same writer on the same publication writing these two articles. Each one is created to troll the audience and rile them up by saying something sensationalist, with the writer declaring a victor in each article, successfully stirring the pot in both camps. The PS4 ‘will crush’, the Xbox One ‘will dominate’… these are not articles about how either console could completely win (which is impossible anyway), but singular irrefutable statements of fact – that refute each other.

Worse still, each article is essentially a copy/paste of the other, opening the same, borrowing the same phrases.

These are posts purposely designed to get people angry and clicking, which is more commonly known as flamebait. There is no respect for the readers, they are a means to a click-filled end, idiots conned into reading awful articles that are completely misleading. It’s disgusting, shameful and a poor excuse for journalism.

This is a writer and a publication that is straddling both sides of an argument, without offering balance, just flip flopping for traffic. There are genuine reasons to believe one console may lead another (not crush), but CNN have managed to pretend both sides will ‘dominate’ the other.

If you’re going to write misspelled, factually incorrect, one-sided garbage, at least stand by your misspelled, factually incorrect, one-sided opinion and don’t contradict yourself on the same day.

Unless you follow gaming on the internet you don't know there is a chance it could go to the PS4. Plus I wouldn't want to wait around a year just to see if there is a chance you get to play it on another console or not. 

DOMINATE!!!

1.  Halo - Peaked with Halo 3 and so is becomming less relevant to the success of Xbox conxoles than previously. But the Halo fans will buy Xb One for Halo 5 so it will be a system seller, however not to the extent that is will lead Xb One to dominate the generation. 

2.  Kinect - It still won't be enough of an tech upgrade to make it a dominating control scheme for gaming. TVs are coming out with voice and gesture commands, so if you get a TV with that tech Kinect becomes redundant, thus is a negative selling point for those people. 

3.  Titanfall - it's ability to sell systems is unknown. As an online only game it only appeals to big fans of online MP FPS. That's a good segment of the market, yes, but I think those gamers are already committed to one or other or both or all 3 consoles. And y'know it's on PC and Xbox 360, a 360+1 game is not going to be as big a system seller as a Xb one only game.

4.  Smartglass - I don;t know enough about this, but doesn;t it work on 360 too? so 17 million people have downloaded the app already, and presumably to use it on 360. That doesn't translate into a lot of early gen sales, and it almost certainly doesn't represent a potentially expanded install base. And a lot of those people will be part of the crowd that was ready to dump all things Xbox before the 180. MS will have to work to bring all those people back into the fold, let alone bring in new customers.

5.  TV - I think this is not a big selling point to people who don't already want Xb one for the games. People who only want the TV features are paying about $200 to much to get the service they are interested in, and you're not going to convert them into gamers to make that extra $200 feel like good value. Later in the gen when the box is cheaper people might buy into it. But by that time there may be many of these live TV features in people's regular cable boxes, so who knows, maybe they will be too expensive at the start and just one in a crowded market later on.

DOMINATE!!!

1.  Halo - I love the series - better than anything on PlayStation.  

2.  Kinect - I'm looking forward to the improvments.  hopefully the voice commands will be accurate.

3.  Titanfall - Will people leap into XOne for this game?

4.  Smartglass - 17 million people have downloaded this app - me included

5.  TV - I am excited for this one.  My kids play the games, but they are also excited about the new tv experience

 Not sure if xbox One will dominate for these 5 reasons.  Not even sure if these reasons are good enough.  But I'm in.

Why do you Sony guys think that every single media outlet in the world is bias to xbox?? People are taking this way too seriously. There isn't any real favoritism being shown here, they had the exact same article about ps4. Its just objective reasons why both consoles are good. They just have flamebait titles because they know silly sensitive fanboys will flock to these articles like flies to sh*t.
