GAMESPOT MOVES PS3 TAB -- Again!

So the PS3 used to be first after the PC tab, but they changed that awhile back and swapped the X360 with the PS3 tab.

Now they've done it again. Pushing PS3 further back and moving Wii a position ahead. This is obviously not based on sales, since the DS is last on the list. I believe this is the order in which GameSpot prefers their platforms.

This thread will be locked and my post deleted, just watch.

Another thing. What is up with GameSpot's graphics comparisons. Why do they handicap the PS3? Why didn't they pit the Elite HDMI 360 against the HDMI PS3? Eurogamer did an accurate comparison allowing 1080P and HDMI and PS3 came out on top with all games.

"But how much of an impact are all of these factors having on the launch titles? We decided to take a look by directly comparing 360 and PS3 versions of the same game, capturing full 24-bit RGB shots and video from each system's best-performing AV output: HDMI from the PS3, and VGA from 360. And this in itself gave the Sony console an immediate advantage. While the difference between analogue and digital on a typical consumer display is difficult to spot, our equipment showed that colour reproduction and basic definition of the image were superior thanks to the pure digital output of the Sony console. There was also zero interference to the signal - the 360's VGA output wasn't so pure, and performance degraded a little at the 1080p top-end. Isolating the video cable as much as we could helped to keep this to a minimum. You probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference at all on the average flatscreen, but we would have definitely liked to do these tests using the much-rumoured HDMI-equipped 360 supposedly due in May."

Hey GameSpot! Learn how to do comparisons like EUrogamer.

No this is the right thread. GameSpot intentionally handicaps the PS3 in their comparisons

You're right, my bad.

It's probably:

Main home consoles in order of how much activity each section of the website generates. PC always being first because they have downloads of demos and stuff that always pushed them to the top. 360 is next most popular for the Gamespot going public I assume, and then Wii, which is a little more casual but generates enough interest from the Gamespot users to edge out PS3.

And then the same with the Handhelds.

Just a guess though.

So the PS3 used to be first after the PC tab, but they changed that awhile back and swapped the X360 with the PS3 tab.

Now they've done it again. Pushing PS3 further back and moving Wii a position ahead. This is obviously not based on sales, since the DS is last on the list. I believe this is the order in which GameSpot prefers their platforms.

I think they base it on interest sales, for the consoles.

That would mean PS2 first after PC and DS not last.

Then why is'nt DS next to Wii? Oh, and why did they remove GBA? It is currently selling better than the PS3.

It's a conspiracy! If it wasn't for gamespot the PS3 would be outselling the wii and 360 combined! And it's all becuase of this tab placement.

lol!
