I know you guys work hard, Ben. I’m very impressed with the content and features on the main PSX site. It’s constantly updated, and a great deal of attention goes into it, and it certainly shows.

What I don’t understand is why the same detail doesn’t go into XN. I mean, why even go through the trouble to develop the site if it’s not going to get the same treatment?

I do understand the issues of lacking traffic, but content and traffic go hand in hand, as Benny pointed out.

Hopefully you can understand (from my perspective anyway) how this can make the site come off as seeming biased.

And to debunk the mystery, I do have a PS3
I do understand what you're saying, and like I said, we are thinking about merging the two sites to provide top-notch coverage for both PSXE and XN. It is indeed a Catch .22 (no content, no traffic), but it's also a Catch .22 in another way- no traffic, no income. Therefore, in order for us to really make the most out of our months, we can't waste much time with XN. That's just the way it is. I do hope that, at some point, the two sites merge. But like I said, that's up to Val.

But bear in mind, about the analyst pieces, there was one "PS3 is doomed" analyst story per week earlier this year. Like I said, we simply post the most current news there is.
