Very interesting article... the only thing I can take note of is GT4 though. Polyphony really has done nothing to improve their series...

Most of the points are really good in this article actually...

Re: Sony and The Hype Machine

Of course you have to take anything written about Playstation on an xbox site with a grain of salt, but still a pretty good read. Some valid points, but it all comes down to money and Sony made a TON of it off of PS2 so I doubt they are in too big of a hurry to change things.

Hmmm... an article about Sony Playstion coming from teamXbox.com. I'm sure that will be real objective and very unbiased.

I could have handled that article if it wasn't for the fact that after every Sony disappointment the author had to counter with "but the Xbox..". The article was supposed to be about Sony's history and whether or not they would live up to the expectations, but the author couldn’t even hold out past the first page before he changed it into a one man PS2 vs. Xbox war.

My thoughts exactly.

Microsoft also had a comment about Toy Story graphics, well sort of...

"Gates said the 3-D chips in the Xbox would be three times faster than anything on the market and offer nearly unlimited graphical visuals. "We're approaching the level of detail seen in Toy Story 2," he said, referring to the computer-generated kids film from Disney/Pixar."

Both Microsoft and Sony are good at hype, but Sony is on a different level (imo).

Maybe, I say that, because the Xbox wasn't playable at E3 in 2001. However, celebrities and press got to play Perfect Dark Zero last night, during the taping of the MTV special to unveil the Xbox 360.

Man, the link is from an Xbox fansite.

I could understand if it was from Gamespot or IGN, but Team Xbox?

If you're one of those people who's on the fence, after reading that article, you don't want anything Sony related. That's how badly Team XB trashed them.

Why don't you actually read the article? It's not like the guy is lying.

I skimmed it and It's something that I just can't read all the way through. The guy just sounds like a fanboy.

Agreed... decent read. I recall the original hype about the PS2 and it did fall short of the stated goal; however, I have enjoyed many AAA titles on the system.

It still doesn't matter Mood, It's the number 1 xbox site writting about the PS3, and also taking jabs at sony, this artile means nothing.

Re: Sony and The Hype Machine

They know a lot of people purchased the console at launch just to have a cheap DVD player that also played games.

i don't agree with that statement.
