This was about as "fair and balanced" as Fox News. If you are not a Sony Fanatic, this reads like a verbal back-pat for Sony. Of course it's from Playstation Unlimited.com, so what would one expect? It reminds me of the "Sony Motion Controller Easier to Work With" article from PS3 Is The Greatest EVA.com (or whatever) we saw earlier. This didn't tell us ANYTHING except that the PS3 will sell better at $299.

I was going to say "In before 'It's a PlayStation website, of course they're going to say the PS3 will win!'", but I guess I'm too late.

He called Resistance 2 a gem without naming Uncharted or inFamous.

I will now disregard the rest of the article.

Hater........

You just like him because he mentioned Heavy Rain.

He also forgot about The Last Guardian!

I have never seen such an anti-Sony article in my life, and I used to frequent GameSpot.

Nice read. I agree the PS3 Slim with a 299 price tag along with a slew of AAA Exclusives ( Uncharted 2 , Gran Turismo 5 , God Of War 3) and AAA Multiplats ( Tekken 6 , COD MW2) , aswell as The PS3 impressive back catalogue of games should be enough to put Sony over and above MS this holiday. I mean PS3 was outsellin 360 when it was 299(360) Vs 399(PS3) base models. Im am nearly certain this will happen again and Sony will take the lead in Others over the holiday.

Somewhat biased article but somewhat accurate nevertheless.

Its funny how gaming journalism these days either has to be 100% positive kissing ass, demonstrated with this pic - http://www.coderetard.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hug-xbox360-500x375.jpg

Or extreme negativity, such as this - http://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/fanboythumb.jpg

So does that mean I win or I lose? Because, damn, that does make me look like a fanboy. . .

Why? Because of Sony domination first time in four years.

Why so much negativity? This website is getting disgusting.

I have to ask that question too, although I disagree that the Chartz are disgusting....

Well.. Yeah, I'll rephrase that.

Some of the negativity people spew out in threads, is getting disgusting.

It was actually a good read...

I read it shortly after I posted the comment and I wasnt to surprised with what I read. It was a standard praise article without any badmouthing of the other consoles. Which is fine, alot of praise can be given the Sony for what they did with the PS3 without having to tear down the other consoles to do it.
