Gc beat X-box in ratings (NextGen Mag)

As I was reading through a next gen magazine early this weak I came across and chart with 4 catagorys.
     
    Hardware, COntroller Design,current games,upcoming games and marketing muscle.



  The overall winner was ps2. In 2nd Gc and 3rd x-box


     Hardware-Gc=3 stars,x-box 5 stars,ps2=4 stars. : WINNER=X-box :

     Controller design- Gc 4 stars, X-box 2 stars, Ps2 4 stars.

              : WINNER=PS2 and GC :

      Current games- Gc 3, X-box 3 stars, Ps2=5 stars

               : Winner= Ps2 :

       Upcoming games- Gc 4 stars, X-box 3 1/2 stars , PS2 4 1/2 stars.

                : Winner= PS2 :

        Marketing Muscle= Gc 3 stars, X-box 2 stars, PS2 4 stars

                : WINNER= PS2 :


        OVERALL WINNER: PS2

   Winner out of GC and X-box= GC

Gc beat x-box in 3 categorys. X-box beat Gc in 1 category. They tied in 1.

Next Gen roxorz!!!!!

XBox hardware got 5 stars, yet PS2 won that category? smalls like BS to me.

for XBox future games, it got 3.5 stars? Where the hell are they getting this stuff. XBox should get 4.5 stars, PS2 should get 4 and GC should get 3.5

marketing muscle? Xbox - 500million, GC 75million? hmmm.

Game magazines have gone way downhill since Gamefan went by the wayside.

I never trust game magazines or game sites anymore. I go on my own opinion.

Like Altered said, ps2 won catogory even though xbox had more stars. And xbox coming last in marketing? Thats rubbish

Umm, I think you made a typo or something.  Xbox won that category.

EDIT: dang I\'m slow.

ya sory about the typo my mistake.

Imagine Publishing laid off most of their best people and only sony fanboys are left.

Next Generation isn\'t much about Next Generation, its basically
Sony Generation and the only reason they had Nintendo as second was because its the only console not in competition with PS2.

I am about to cancel my Next Gen mag and tell them why...  They are far from fair.

You do realize that the majority of that 500 million goes to promotions like the Taco Bell one and doing various things to get the Xbox out there. Nintendo on the other hand is also a multi billion dollar company that is already known.

Think about it, I have seen a ton of Gamecube commercials and only two Xbox commercials. Where is that marketing money being spent? I\'m sure Sony spent around 500 Mill when the PSOne launched. You need to spend a lot to get your name and image out there.

BTW, They gave the marketing muscle stars based on the actual marketing. Nintendo is known to be really good marketers of their products and Sony as well. Microsoft has yet to prove themselves.

I find it funny that whenever NextGen says something bad about any console. That consoles particular fanboys go crazy calling it a biased mag. When NextGen gave the Spaceworld GCN games less than stellar reviews, the Nintendo Fanboys said they were biased to the Xbox and now they are biased to Sony? Funny.

Oh yeah?

Well in EGM, the Xbox triumphed over the GC, so there.

(Meaning that it doesn\'t mean s**t.)

well said DM.

Which edition EMG was that? I might have it.

What the?  How did ps2 win in hardware?!?!?!  Compare to xbox!?!?!?!?  Next gen must have not even played the xbox to make that type of judgement.

Which edition EMG was that? I might have it.

Last month\'s, with the GC + XBOX on the cover. You can\'t miss it.

I think you can miss it. You can\'t argue with me, because that is my morally correct opinion. HAHHAHAa.

Rasalant, I changed it and now it says x-box was the winner in Hardware it was a typo.
