It has become so easy to spot when a website is hungry for hits. As far as the gaming industry is concerned, the review system is complete mess. There is absolutely no standard approach, beyond just putting out inflammatory headlines and scores to rile up clicks.
There is so much inconsistencies and double standards flying around nowadays. This review for instance talks about the fact that the PS TV is "just a paperweight" without the controller. Yet this device, li...

I'm going to assume that you're responding to me.
The Xbox One was released in China on September 29. And these speculated number are for the "week endind October 4" (please reas article's title) so I'm hoping that you can make the connection here without me having to spell out every single tidbits.
Furthermore, if you go to VGChartz, you can see the break down per region according to their own estimates w...
Ugh, the XBox One sold 79,000. The extra 100,000 is VGChartz assuming that during the Chinese launch the XBOX one Sold out of the 100,000 shipped units.

Hey man, I'm going to tell you how I wholeheartedly feel about most online publications mostly based in the US and UK.
It is my opinion that those websites are incredibly biased against Sony. The root of it all? I'm unsure when this trend started, but it was very obvious last gen, and you can still see a lot of it this gen still.
The rule of the game is this; anything that mostly benefits Sony/PlayStation MUST be judged differently from anything else...
@Gaming247allday
"Xbox 360 was the better product last Generation which is why it sold what it did"
Ugh, what are you on about here buddy? If what you said is true, then how come it ended selling LESS consoles while being on the Market for a WHOLE YEAR longer then both the PS3 and the Wii?
And the fact that you're on here refuting well documented facts about the RROD Fiasco is proof that you're approaching this issue from an...
@SardoNumspa
Ugh... I agree with a lot of the things you wrote down except for the 3-1/ratio you're predicting. That's unlikely to happen as the XBox One will also see a boost during the holidays.
The difference will really start to show in January February 2015, when the Xbox One goes back to its regular numbers and the PS4 hardly slows down as it'll be riding exclusives after exclusives for several months.
I don't see Micros...
I've actually predicted this not too long ago. Back in February 2013 when Sony unveiled the PS4 and the "Game Streaming" features, I predicted that "reviewers" would gradually lose their credibility. By the end of the Gen and the start of the next one, I'm expecting them to become a mostly irrelevant bunch.
Right now, the main leverage reviews have to publishers is in terms of marketing. They (review websites) still remain the easiest and cheapest ...
Those "other developers" you speak of, how many units do their "quality racers" sell with each iterations?
On topic, kaz only said that the game will capture the "era we live in" so 2015 2016. He did not say that's when the game will be out. Now watch people start with all the "delay talk" if the game doesn't come out in 2016.
I'm one of the people waiting to try the PS+ version of DriveClub and see how the game performs for myself. So I understand how the wait can be frustrating. And to the people who actually went out and purchased the game, you have every right to be upset and disappointed at how poor of a launch this has been for the game. Absolutely disgraceful and Sony gets no slack here.
Now to the people going on about PSN and the cloud.... I feel really sad for you guys. What you guys...
@ kiwi
Or imagine all your friends are actually not all in one bight club, since there are many other nightclubs in the city with no hangups.
This is not a PSN issue, this is a DriveClub issue. Every other game works fine on the PS4, PS3 and the PSVita.
Stop Trolling!!!!
Please tell me you're not serious... This has very little if anything at all to do with PSN.
I can't believe the stuff I'm hearing from you guys on here. PSN is supporting the PS3, PS4, and the PSVita at the moment, and the only game having issues is DriveClub. Buy somehow, the sky is falling and Sony has to fix PSN.... Get the fack outta here!
There millions and millions of people enjoying other games on PSN right this minute!
Yea that's some poor taste for sure. Sure you're competitors, but blatantly putting that in a promo is a little crass in my opinion.
Besides, Forza is not even the top selling racer/Sim on consoles, so why would it need killing. "______ killer" is a term reserved for top selling games of a specific genre, for example: GTA killer, CoD killer, Halo Killer,Gran Turismo Killer, Mario Killer, etc.
When did Forza join that group?
@ Death,
I've seen enough of your comments by now to know that you're a troll. I will mark your comments as such, and also put you on my ignore list later today.
You seem very hurt and unable to bottle up those feelings.
You went into the DriveClub thread and spread a whole bunch of fake info about the game and the PS+ edition, and having people believing that if they upgrade from the PS+ edition then they will lose access to the ga...
@Ultr
Music and movies aren't that big when it comes to file size. Games on the other hand are huge, thousand times larger than an Mp3 music file, and some 20-50 times that of most movies. Not to mention that they take longer to complete as well, where a movie goes for 2 hours.
Just imagine 10 million people streaming COD on release day, for 5-10 hours straight. The infrastructure simply isn't there yet.
But not only that, This article is also suggesting that Destiny is somehow as Popular as Minecraft, which is not the case.
Minecraft is way more popular than Destiny, and was being anticipated by a lot people. I expect minecraft to outsell Destiny on the PS4.
I can't believe that I'm going to be the first person to slap this dude...I just can't believe it.
I didn't know who he was or what the fack a Fez is, but I watched the YouTube video of him disrespecting that Japanese dude and I felt sick to my stomach.
I simply can't believe that I'm going to be the first person to slap this dude, it's unbelievable that best been able to walk the earth, "unchecked", this long.

I really don't like to participate in these "who won" contests but here I go.
Microsoft has released a SKU that is priced exactly like the PS4 and yet they cmwint even release or talk about their sales numbers afterwards. Meaning that the Xbox One doesn't just have a price issue, it has a huge image problem.
Why does it have an image problem? Because there IS such a thing as bad publicity, and the sales disparity between the two consoles e...
Leave to Microsoft to piss off every single camp they can with their business models.
First with tomb raider, and now this.
Please don't get me wrong here. I don't find fault with paying a Dev money to develop extra contents for a multiplatform game. The game was going to release as is, and you decides that your group of gamers sgould get more, fine, pqy the dev to make extra contents for your your platform specifically. But I think it is a sh!tty b...
This is a really silly question to be honest. Go to any Digital Foundry article from last gen comparing multiplatform releases and you shall find your answer.
Those type of articles always garnered the most heat and comments from the community. And it wasn't about major disparities either. It was mostly about "patches of grass" and one game running at 640p while the other one running at 660p hence making it the "SUPERIOR" version as the Xbox guys would...
