In a recent "3 Red Lights" podcast, Hilary Goldstein, editor in chief of IGN X360, completely attacks the Xbox 360 and argues that the PS3 will ultimately win out. He begins his rant at 1 hour 4 minutes into the podcast. Quite insightful and informative for all listeners.
You can listen to the podcast here. Here is a summary of the podcast, for thosewho don't care to sit through it:
* Xbox can't compete and PS3 will win.
* "From a hardware standpoint, MS is in trouble."
* HD-DVD is dead and MS will have to add a BR player or add-on , but that it will always make it a more expensive console b/c even if they do an add-on for $200, why would anyone buy it?
* They even bash the XBL movie download service.
* Sony's 10 year plan is going to make it dominant. People don't want to buy a new console every 4 years.
* The PS3 is going to sell b/c of of BR just by default.
* XBox makes you pay for online and PSN is free.
* PS3 is only going to get more and more attractive with better games long-term.
* PS3 is better value and you can replace the HD with any bigger Hard drive.
* MS is reluctant to offer user-generated content while Sony is embracing it.
* "No way that MS can offer you what Sony gives you" for the money.
* MS needs a redesign of the XBox.
* MS is getting too arrogant.
*360 peripherals more expensive for less functionality (HDD, wireless etc)
Before anybody says anything, he has bash the PS3 in the past in favor of the 360, so that's why this doesn't make any since that he would completelyflipflop, especially since he is the editor over at xbox360.ign.com, what a #@*%** idiot, my dude has lost his mind, he'll be reviewing games now from thepsych ward,
