The company already apologized for the deed.
Although the Instagram-post got deleted already (and it also showed up on Facebook, too), Resetera saved the image. On it, we can see a comparison: the left side has the PlayStation 4 and the recently launched God of War, while the Xbox One side on the right is black. „Can you spot the differences?” – IGN’s post asks.
Ryan McCaffrey, IGN’s senior editor, apologized on Twitter: „I would like to sincerely apologize to the Xbox team as well as the Xbox community on behalf of the @IGN editorial team. The Facebook and Instagram posts were unprofessional and classless and made without my knowledge. The posts will be deleted ASAP.” Aaron Greenberg, the head of Xbox’ marketing, replied: „Thanks Ryan, appreciate the note and follow up.”
Whoever did the comparison, they will likely have some heated days, weeks, ahead of them…
