Stella Chung, on the right, starts off by generously giving Xbox a B like they're paying to keep the lights on.

But watch the guy on the left, Max Scoville, grimacing his life away as the host lists off the 2.5:1 sales advantage PS5 has, the better games library and the better hardware.

He retaliates by giving PS5 a C/C+.

He thinks Xbox has a better games library coming up, says PS5 is the best place to play PS4 games, and begrudgingly and backhandedly compliments the Portal and PSVR 2.

Both the Stella and Max cap off this shit show by recommending Xbox to someone looking to get into gaming this holiday season.

Welcome to IGN. The comments are tearing them a new asshole.

Yeah recommend a Xbox when there porting there games to PS5 & will soon within 1-2 years will all be day n date.

The only reason you would buy a Xbox is for gamepass & even then just buy a Steamdeck for $400-$500

They are giving grades for the last 4 years, but rates PS5 on a merit of upcoming games 😂

You can't spell IGN without saying Retards.

They are desperate. If Xbox goes full third party publisher, there Xbox segments become irellavent.
There Xbox segment should just be MS gaming which isn’t exciting & will likely bomb on the YouTube algorithm

I remember something similar to this last year I was shocked at them giving xbox a higher score as well.

This year, not at all. These guys have proven they are shills and I don't rate anything IGN says or does as legitimate.

No surprise. They aren't even hiding their bias. They might as well buy XboxEra too. Lol. IGN has been hiring influencer since that what Stella Chung is. I mean so many folks in the comments of their Youtube channel are roasting them for this video. Lol.

People are roasting IGN for years on YT. Yet they are deaf towards any criticism. It's sad, funny and infuriating at the same time.

Anybody giving Xbox a higher rating over PS5 in any gaming category is officially being paid or they’re just that delusional dumb.

Why we have and need this site... Wish more PlayStation fans would embrace Icon-era....

We could grow into something quite influential over time.

This site isn't going to grow with the constant hysterical dooming. That's just a reality.

Whether it's PlayStation fans or otherwise, you're not going to attract people to come here with the quality of posts from a lot of these guys.

You are right, too many corporate shills.

It's good that you're starting to acknowledge it. Self-awareness is the first step to self-improvement.

IGN keeps banging the drum on this value narrative for Game pass as to why they grade Xbox high yet ignore how Game pass prices keep increasing when Xbox themselves have failed in their promise of delivering a major 1st party title every quarter for the service and how the service got broken into tiers where now standard Game pass had day n date removed.
