![Bungie's "Destiny" uncovered [Update]](http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/pth/sizes/238x130/thumb_201205Bungie-Destiny-Leak.jpg)
Microsoft released a new free booklet in Japan telling all the reasons why they think the Xbox 360 is “better” than the PlayStation 3. Now, here we like both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, so we could not decide. However, the pamphlet displays an anime character with Xbox 360 clothing on, hoping to lure in hentai-craving teenagers.
The cover of the propaganda reads “Xbox 360 over PlayStation 3 if you are picking multi-platform games”. The issue basically lists a bunch of multiplatform games for the console which are supposed to be superior than the PlayStation 3 version. Some of them I’ve played and they seem fine on both systems to me, however, the guys at Microsoft advertising may have wanted to think about including Tales of Vesperia as a “superior” multiplatform game considering a PlayStation 3 version was announced with more content.
Now, once again, we love both systems, but frankly I believe this kind of behavior from Microsoft is childish. Yes, it’s marketing, it’s business, but you never see Sony doing this, do you? Microsoft Japan, no!

Like him or not, our new president said it best when he said, and I’m paraphrasing, that you can’t build your campaign on putting people down. If MS was so confident in its system’s abilities they wouldn’t need to bash the competition with ambiguous statements. Multi-platform games are “better” on the 360 than they are on the PS3?
You could almost make that argument in the matter of GTAIV because the 360 version offers the exclusive DLC. But just because it’s available doesn’t mean that everyone that bought GTAIV will want it. You could also make the argument that the graphics on the 360 version of games are better. In the case of the Orange Box you would be right but, again, if the game doesn’t appeal to you then the argument is worthless.
People could make an argument that CBS is better than ABC. For me I don’t like 10 versions of the same cop show (CSI) and I’m not a fan of Two and a Half Men.
Not to get too long winded but my point is that what makes the other system better — at least in the vein of multi-platform games — is about as subjective as someone’s favorite color. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My point is that MS doesn’t show that they’re confident in their system if takes beating up the other guy over what could be construed as playground name calling.
The 360 is a great system and doesn’t have to lower themselves to these types of standards. But then again when both Sony and Nintendo are outselling them like crazy you have no choice but to point fingers and use an upskirt shot to do it.
