Gaz from Gameondaily offers his thoughts on whether the PS4 has finally beaten Xbox One this holiday season.

Using the motion controllers to combine a variety of shapes and colors (and a bit of freehand painting) you’ll produce beats, synths and…other musical sounds (I’m not an EDM expert so you’ll have to forgive my ignorance on the subject) which will create and elevate the chosen track (again not a huge selection but enough to showcase ArtPulse).
Josh writes: - I am going to cut through all the formalities I normally give my reviews with Himno. Normally I try to go into ever Indie title I play with an open mind, and that was no different with Himno. The game boasts “a non-violent, no death platformer.” That may be true that you do not fight off zombies or orcs. However, the bit about not dying is a load of crap as you will constantly fall into the water as you have no clue where you are going half the time.
The animation is nice and it looks like it controls well but they seem to have forgotten to make it a game.
Lyam writes: - Mekabolt is very simple in concept. Your gun itself is the mekabolt and shooting enemies allows you to manipulate them in a way to continue on in the stage. For instance, one enemy walks on a platform and by shooting it, you can use it to access higher heights. Another is a flying one that when shot, it falls to the ground briefly, letting the player have a moment to jump atop of it and ride upwards. Figuring out the patterns of the enemies and what their benefits are is the key to success in finishing stages. There’s not much difficulty since each time a new concept such as a new enemy appears, the next few stages are simplified to learn the benefits of that enemy.

I don't have to read on the site to know the answer lol
finally? i tbink the xbox one has only beaten it for a few months and never worldwide. no wonder there is so much dissension between the two camps, the media fuels it with this constant we must win attitude.
Does it matter which system delivers the best games for the holidays if they ignore the rest of the year?
It's been clear that Sony is keen to let 3rd parties do the heavy lifting during the holidays and then they drop a major title early in the new year (Bloodborne, U4, horizon) when nothing else is coming out. Seems to work for them
Finally! ;)
Asks if the PS4 won this Holiday...writes a salty article about how PS4 dominated the whole year.
You know MS PR has these "journalists" hooked when they consider the word Holiday as the whole year.
