More journalists chose the Xbox One over the PS4

During a recent Call of Duty: Ghosts review event it was noted by Lazygamer that the console most journalists preferred started at the PlayStation 4 but by the end of the event the Xbox One was easily the more prefered console

I should take this piece seriously and not bias sprinkled with lies at all?

then remove all the cod xbone ads in the background

More journalists like who, I wonder? Every survey chose PS4. Every preorder chose PS4.

More journalists did choose Xbox One...to hate on.

[badboy776]

More Consumers chose the PS4 over the Xbox One.

End Of Discussion,

"More journalists chose the Xbox One over the PS4"

And more gamers choose the PS4 over the X1.
Because of the controller, how pathetic! These fanboys just keep on trying

[allformats]

Article is fake. Apparently he's saying that journalists rather the Xbox One control -- because they were more used to the Xbox 360 layout? Okay? No surprise there.

But even that is shady, as Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann said he rather the PS4 controller: http://www.giantbomb.com/ar...

Lame article overall.

[dantesparda]

It is lame and the arguments just keep getting weaker and weaker

[theBAWSE]

like I've stated all along Microsoft advertising money... certain sites are whore's getting pimped out by Microsoft and gavin the author of this piece is lying his ass off...

and why is a journalist who is ment to be unbiased lying?... simple for the cheque, the cod xbone ads in the background was hilarious

[GavinMannion]

The adverts are paid for by Activision. They have a deal with MS to put Xbox branding on them. The adverts have no relation to the editorials if you managed to learn how to read and read the entire thing that would become obvious

*note to self*

Ignore ALL lazygamer articles from here on out. It sucks N4G doesn't have advanced block and ignore features.

@lazy gamer.... hit a nerve did i, truth hurts

has a name ever been more fitting? but instead of gamer change it to 'lazy journalist'

take your fake articles sprinkled with lies and shove it, next time you want to spread fud don't be stupid enough to have the advertisements running alongside it.... and don't act like you don't receive royalties from showing the advertising

[Ezz2013]

"" The PS4 version looks better and that is something Microsoft deserve to be slated for ""

the only thing i agree with in your article

[GavinMannion]

No you didn't hit a nerve. I answered your question and showed you that your comment was full of shit.. but hey you keep self loving all you want.

It really makes no difference in my life

[trywizardo]

the controller rubber says it all lol

[Remy_S]

Considering most journalists are dumbasses, I could believe it.

[Max-Zorin]

If that's what they want, good for them. Not all people have the same preferences.

[gamertk421]

The butthurt overfloweth.

Some unknown journalist chose the Xbone, thousands and thousands of people everywhere in the world (about) chose the PS4. Mh.... interesting. Oh well, -2 days for my friends in US for their PS4, i'm jealous!! For me 2 weeks left ;(

Just one thing: does no one question all the obvious scratches on the left stick of that DS4? That is, in no way, caused by normal wear and tear. I'm sorry, but taking that image seriously is a red flag.

I lied.

Another thing: if EVERYBODY was in the PS4 room at the start, doesn't it make sense that, as time wore on, journalists would start spending more time on the XB1? I mean, you spend the first day and a half on PS4, and the last day and a half on XB1. Is that not a more logical conclusion?

One final thing: people coming from the 360 have a tendency to hold a DualShock the same way... which doesn't work, because the controller layout isn't the same. When I pick up my DS3, my thumb rests on the top of the left stick(unless I'm playing Gran Turismo, for some reason). Based on the wear I've seen on literally hundreds of used 360 controllers(GameStop veteran), the contact point for thumbs is about where the damage on the DS4 is located. It's not exactly the largest sample group, but as someone with a healthy amount of friends that game or have gamed on both consoles(and someone who's run a few Madden and fighting game tournaments and midnight releases), I've also noticed that PS3 players tend to use more the last segment of their thumb on the sticks, while 360 player use more of the joint area.

Between that(which would place the DS4's ridge right in that spot where there isn't as much flesh on your finger) and the difference in stick placement, it's no surprise that someone who's not used to holding a DualShock might find themselves in discomfort. Similarly, since I'm used to holding a DualShock, the battery pack on the back of the 360 pad isn't comfortable to me.
