“Why the only option right now is PS4” states the cover, front and centre, with another bullet asking “How Microsoft Blew It”, with the subheading “The titanic errors on Xbox One’s road to ruin”.
It’s hard to say without seeing the magazine’s insides how much of this is recent (this is all from a promo piece on their website that says “Sony crushed Microsoft at E3 2013”) – it’s reasonable to assume the issue went to press before Microsoft’s dramatic U-Turn.
Even so, this is going to be on magazine shelves for a month – that’s hugely powerful PR for Sony as they try to attract pre-orders for the PS4.
The magazine is out this week.

Some years ago Edge was very much anti PS3 and pro 360 in many of it’s comments, so it’s interesting to see the shift in support from what is one of the most respected magazines in the UK.

At this early stage, the only thing I can call that cover is our old favourite, “shoddy journalism.”

Is it not about time that Microsoft are due some positive publicity??
Then again, maybe not. :P

Wow. It is very true though. It was like watching Evil Ryu do Battle with Nick Clegg. The Dark Side was alway gonna crush the green team.

How many people are going to buy the PS4 and end up disappointed that it doesn’t stand on it’s corner?
