August cover of Edge Magazine - bullet to the head of XBone

Shots fired.  Man down.  Man down.  We need an ambulance on the scene.

Meh...  Seems a little overly dramatic to sell magazines given the two consoles are pretty much identical at this point.  Sony will enjoy the price advantage though. 

Bullet to their own head if ya ask me but WTH, they won't feel a thing since Edge mag has been dead for years anyway.:twisted:

Likely a ploy trying to get some much needed attention. :P

I personally think it's absolutely ridiculous for any multiplatform games magazine to have a cover like that, just makes them look bad. bobbetybob

Well they obviously do not care about the future of their magazine. Good luck getting any support from Microsoft in the future with a cover like that. Not very professional.

Oh wow.

Shots fired !

I thought Edge was suppose to be this objective, well respected media source. Intead it's just a big massive advertisment. Like well, IGN, gametrailers, gamespo... gamespo... Remember the gamespot Battlefield 3 launch marathon? Partnered with EA? Good times.

Has Edge not always been in favour of Sony consoles?

Oh man :lol:

Is that cover legit ?

Er, no. They're infamous for rating PS3 exclusives below the average and rating 360 exclusives above it.

That's a bit extreme :shock:

I have no idea what happened in that post...  Using system wars on a phone is a chore and a half...  Not even worth it in most cases...

It's not like Europe is a battleground for Sony, they're already doing well there.

Also, fvck Edge, this is a stupid thing to come out and say.

It fine for a magazine to be one sided in my mind and until I read it I cant say for sure whether what they written is that damning. I cant say I agree with the sentiment at least from the point of view that the kinect is why there is a 100 difference( even if it should be optional). So when I compare the systems I would say the ps4 is more powerful and has a cheaper base price but its not the only choice at all.

Maybe all the negative press is the shot in the arm Microsoft needs to get hungry again like they were at the beginning of last gen. If they want to gain back the lost ground they will have to shake things up.

If they had a cover like that against the PlayStation Sony fans would be boycotting and starting petitions.Miketheman83

The cover story sounds very biased, but honestly given how the whole gaming industry went batshit crazy on Microsoft, would you feel bad for this type of cover stories, in my own opinion Microsoft deserves all the hate they get, every inch and sqaure of it. If their business policies does not align with the health of the industry, they should sell the Xbox brand to Google or Samsung

I don't get what is wrong with this cover? It is their opinion that the PS4 is a more logical choice, that doesn't make them biased, or payed off, and nor does it make them any less professional.

Sounds like they're trying to get back at Microsoft because of all the stuff Microsoft did try to enforce. While I do not necessarily wish for Xbox to fail, I do appreciate some of the crap/rep hit they took/taking because of those silly stuff.

But then again, most of that silly stuff was things that didn't even bother me since it wouldn't affect me.

lol

It's a magazine that needs to sell copies, having controversial shit in it and on the cover helps achieve that goal. 

Also makes me wonder if this was written before or after the X1 turn arounds
