  Has Microsoft sunk to a new low in Japan?

  Check this ad out Microsoft recently put out in Japan where it refers to the PS3 as inferior

  

  My take on this its pretty pathetic and pointless on Microsofts part they already lost to sony in Japan but hey at least the anime girl is cute

  Kojima does it again

  

  You gotta love Kojima many 360 gamers were certain that MGS4 was coming to 360well Kojima pulled a fast and 360 fanboys went from saying " I can't wait MGS4 is awesome and PS3 sucks " to "Metal Gear Solid 4 sucks" gotta love the internet here are some of the comments made by users around the internet

  "flame me as much as you want, but frankly i dont see mgs4 that revolutionary,( beside the moving from cut scene to game play ) it is fun but it is just another mgs, ( full of crap though) i found that kojima is humiliating solid more and more i dont know why, ( old, beating, skating and etc..) my opinion is that they will never make better solid game than the first one.and it can easly fit in 2 xbox discs just cut the crap and useless video and dialogs , and you should stop believing sony"
  
  "wow sad that the big news was mgs on the iphone lol why did they need to wait 2 weeks to tell people this trash news yes now im going to run out and buy a ipone so i can play a weak mgs game i was hoping they wiuld bring mgs4 to the xbox360 with all its flaws fix i own mgs4 for the ps3 and its a sad mess"
  
  "Microsoft doesn't need mgs4 anyways.They're still kickin the ps3 ass anyways. The ps3 fanboys are happy to see its not coming to the 360 but are they happy to see sony's console getting hammered into the ground as far as sells. I have mgs4 and i think its overrated.Theres more cutscenes in the game than there is gameplay.Not to mention all those damn installs.When sony announced blu-ray,i was hoping it would make the games longer,it hasn't! Only more cutscenes? Mgs4 can be beat in 5-6 hours!"
  
  "i'm actually kinda glad mgs isn't coming to the 360... i hate those games... give me hitman and splinter cell any day of the week, i own of them except the portable versions..."
  
  "Ok, ok - the PS3 dudes can keep MGS4...I want a game, not an interactive movie..."
  
  "I just lost some respect for Konami."

  Is Gametrailers.com really bias?

  

  Gametrailers.com have been accuced of favoring the 360 and hateing on the PS3 while Shane Satterfield Editor In Chief has said in numorus times that there isn't any malicious activity its kinda hard to defend the following blog written by one of the video editors at gametrailers.com

  "Look, I'm sick of all the kerfluffle about how GT is biased towards 360 and how GT favors 360 and how GT hates on PS3. That ends now! The fact remains that 360 has just released better content than PS3. Period. See what I did there? I put a period after Period. That means conclusion; the end of discussion. The reason why GT gives 360 games better scores in the reviews is because the games are simply better experiences. The main reason for this--and it is often an overlooked and underestimated one--is because the 360 controller is a far superior gaming device than the Sony controller. This is to be said within the context that we are talking about influential, significant, market moving franchises--eg. Gears of War 2, Call of Duty, GTA 4, Halo 3 for crying out loud! Have you tried playing any of the previously mentioned multi-platformed titles on the PS3 with that awkward, unintuitive Sony controller? It simply cannot compete. The 360 controller's design is sleeker, more form fitting, and lends itself to a much more instinctual gaming experience. That Sony controller has been around for how many years now? It's time to update, reinvent, and innovate, and that's exactly how Microsoft has managed to stay ahead of the curve. I had posted a forum about this very topic and got reported for inciting a flamewar as they call it. Before the forum could evolve into a discussion it was taken down, but I did receive a very constructive critique about my thoughts from a fellow GT member who claimed that the PS3's D-pad was superior to the 360's, especially in fighter games, to which I give him credit and agreement. However, this goes without noting that I was focusing on major blockbuster titles like the Halos and the Gears and the Call of Duty's; titles that move consoles and market share. Sony not only needs to update its controller, but it also needs to incorporate it with an enjoyable, story-driven exclusive franchise to rival the mind-blowing Microsoft heavyweights Gears of War and Halo franchises. Do this, and you shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will die today."
