So you want them to go full retard and expose themselves and lose access to the most profitable platform with the largest audience? They need to play it "smart".
But for this video they are not playing it smart and are falsifying the results they got?
So what exactly are they doing then? They call out exactly where a specific console performs worse than the other and they have been heavy in their praise for the PS5. Some recent comparison videos:
Nioh 2: They point out that the PS5 version of the game has better LOD than PC.
Division 2: They called out the PS5 for being the worse version, yet they repeatedly stressed in the video that this is a bug and the PS5 is capable of much, much more.
Control: They once again demonstrated the I/O issue that the Xbox version has, while noting the PS5 has none of those issues. They also did the photo mode test, but what people seem to keep forgetting is that they stressed it was merely of academic interest and has no bearing on how the game plays.
Skyrim: They went out of their way to test BC 60Fps on the PS5, once again bringing to light the PS5 is performing better. This is a key one, if they were MS shills they would have zero incentive to bring that up. It wasn't a new game.
Hitman 3: They pointed out the resolution advantage of the Xbox and also pointed out the drops it can have in the one level. They could have sugar coated it, but they did not.
Then they do all these 60FPS patch videos for the PS5, God of War, Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, and they praise them heavily.
On top of all that, they put Spider-Man: MM as the number second pick for graphics of the year. Only loosing to Cyberpunk 2077 when using the full RT suite, which is only possible on a very expensive PC.
If they are being MS shills then they are being so subtle about it, that it may as well not even matter.
