Well even if all that is true The Verge seems to like Apple pretty much - at least one of the editors at the unveilling of some iPad "shed tears of joy" that doesn't go well with you theory. I did not read a single article on polygon so I can't tell anything about the people working there. I read posts by aegis here and I wouldn't say he is biased towards MS but better informed/interested.
from the whole microsoft funding to regurgitating that whole halo4 pizza hut thing pr (i thought they were going to be different), deleting comments and whatnot, it's a shitty site just as the other ones. imo, don't bother with it.
i guess you might be right about the whole thing, then again, gaming journalism is a joke to me, truly the worst thing about this industry and pretty much the reason i stick to gaf for news. there's a reason ppl post the old "gaf->internet->gaf" phrase in a lot of threads.
also, i'm not saying he's "biased", more like these people have links to the competing company, yet people are taking their words as some kind of holy bible about the ps4. i mean, to me, that feels kinda weird. it's kinda like going to a mercedes stand and asking their opinion about a chevrolet.
then again, maybe that's just me, i'm a skeptical by nature, i'll only believe specs when i see them.
What's wrong with him saying he hadn't heard much about PS4 yet? Why does that make what he's heard about the new Xbox unreliable? He hasn't really said anything that outlandish about the next Xbox, it's been pretty similar to what GAF's other rumour guys have said. These discussions will surely deteriorate if things continue to get personal and petty.
i think i explained myself better in this post. sorry for the off-topic i guess. i just feel there's a conflict of interests. but i'll stop now. i don't have anything "against" him, i just don't take his (and other people here, like thuway for example) words as granted as some people here do, that's what i was trying to say.
