Lens of Truth: Apples vs Oranges Comparison

Lens of Truth writes, "For this Head2Head, the Lens of Truth decided to strip down all consoles and hardware to get down to the purest of all comparisons - an apple to an orange! It has long been argued that before the home console debuted there were pointless comparisons. The longest one still standing is of course going back to the Garden of Eden's apple versus orange. This Head2Head led to the banishment from the Garden, of course, however the argument is continued and it is commonly accepted that in every comparison and Head2Head made today, at one point someone is bound to argue apples versus oranges."

Classic! I don't know about you, but that Apple doesn't look like that on my TV. :S

evildeli5157d ago

I just went outside to pick an orange for myself to compare. My orange is brown and rotting.

SWORDF1SH5157d ago

im suprised they didnt choose the 360 even. they always choose 360.

jk. i like lens of truth. my favourite comparison site.

darthv725157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

A better comparison would be oranges to oranges or apples to apples like red delicious vs golden. Or any other type of apple like fuji, rome or granny smith.

What i'd like to know is why is the banana getting a free pass?

DarkSpawnClone5157d ago

OMG this site is BIAS!!!Every one know Oranges are Better then apples.WTF

Noctis Aftermath5157d ago

Fact: Apple>Orange, if you think otherwise you are an orange fanboy.

ChineseDemocracy5157d ago

What are you blind?

Apples have the power of the CORE !

darthv725157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

oranges come in seedless and are easier to juice. More devs like the easier to juice platform. If they chose to make apple the primary then porting would still be as easy. You can't say the same the other way around.

Each one has their own exclusives like apple pie and apple fritter donuts as well as orange sherbet and orange glow (can't clean anything using an apple in it) but it isnt a crime to like both. the multiplat juice's and fruit trays are good too.

edit: at holy "orange" cow...apples turn brown quicker 54% of the time. Not to mention you have a greater chance of getting a worm that will ruin your enjoyment.

JOLLY15157d ago

Oranges sell more in the U.S. Also Apple don't have a protective skin from pesticides. Oranges FTW!

*edit* also oranges are more user friendly, you don't have to cut "slices"

HolyOrangeCows5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

Yeaaaaaah, this probably belongs on BadJoyStick. So does all of the other April Fool's Day Articles.

Pretty funny, though.

HolyOrangeCows5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

I'll take the apple. They make you pay more to eat the other half of the orange. Isn't that stupid?

Plus, the oranges keeping rotting on over 30% of the people buying them.

Kratos Spartan5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

I'm an apple fanboy...oh...wait a minute o_O

So is this fruit, or A new company to compete with...

Absolut_Turkey5157d ago

I have over 25 years of fruit eating experience and I must say that the orange is the technologically superior fruit. Look at the pictures. The orange clearly has more detail, and it comes from Florida...FLORIDA! Plus, I'm sure that the pictures of the apples are all Bullshots. Oranges FTW! And if you disagree you're an apple-eating communist booger-head!

thetruthinator5157d ago

Dude its totaly april first! its april fools day! i cant beleive you all fell for this one!

Cmon! comparing "apples to oranges" It all a Joke!.... dam 360 fanboys

ReservoirDog3165157d ago

Haha, everyone here gets bubbles.

Oranges by the way. No contest.

MmaFanQc5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

by orange fanboys.

mikeslemonade5157d ago

Mangos, Cherry, and Pineapples are tastier. They are also 1080p so they're better.

Ocelot5255157d ago

the colors of the apples are washed out, LoT clearly didn't calibrate the camera coorectly

i'm also seeing many jaggies on the orange

iamtehpwn5157d ago

Apples have WAY Better AA and Resolution than Oranges.
Idk about you guys, but Apples for the win. Oranges are only 576p.
Apples are the only TRUE HD fruit.

SWORDF1SH5157d ago

lol @ you guys. some very funny comments.

Makes you think why people argue aggressively over the console wars because everybody here basically used all the console wars argument clichés and made it funny.

First time ive felt togetherness on N4G. """WIPES TEAR"""

mikeslemonade5157d ago

I rather eat a grapefruit than an orange. Apples are just plain overrated because they're physically too hard for your mouth.

boodybandit5157d ago

try a banana!
They may not be for the hardcore but are well worth the investment.

MNicholas5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

There's nothing worse than "technical" comparisons by biased fanboys who obviously take bribes.

commodore645157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

This article is so 2007!

Every reputable gamer knows that apples have long since eliminated the inferior multifruits that used to plague their system.

This is 2010.
Just witness Apple fantasy Xiii. It has been shown to be superior on the apples platform and the orange can only run at 576 orange seeds, while the apple pips number 720!

Apple FTW!

Some other fruitboys argue that this is only one out of about 30 multifruits that seems to be better on the apples in the last six month, but while we're talking about fruits I am inclined to be cherrypicking to suit my purpose!

Apples, cherries, oranges... nothing but an orchard of crazy fruits here.

/s

Nothing like a hardcore apple fruitboy, it seems, huh?

And remember kids, an apple a day keeps the reality away.

Absolut_Turkey5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

I think that those of us that constantly trade barbs in this little "Console War" of ours do so because when someone says anything that could be misconstrued as an attack on our console of choice, we ALL have an irrational tendency to take it personal. The same thing happens when people argue over sports, politics, or religion (which is why most bars don't let you talk about this stuff while alcohol is being served). Most people think "An attack on my beliefs is an attack on me", and when we feel attacked we lash back. Often times this behavior ends any hope of any civil discourse.
On a lighter note: I think this little "April Fools Joke" gave us all a chance to relax, let our guards down, and allowed all of us to have a little bit of fun together. GAMERS RULE!

haha! nice one. But seriously though, anyone saying that apple and oranges can't be compared are just being stupid, they're both fruits that 's enough reason to compare them. Just like certain games for example fps and tps they're both shooter is more than enough reason to compare them. Isn't a comparison used to determine which is suits you the best? something that wouldn't be comparable would be apple and potato.

p-m theres screen tearing on that apple:/

Redempteur5157d ago

"With no skin to peel through the apple is optimized for fast eating."

loool

evildeli5157d ago

These comparisons are pointless. Enough already!

lh_swe5157d ago

Where is your sense of humour?

evildeli5157d ago

I take my fruit very serious, except for banana peels. Slipping on one is just classic.

saraphina0175157d ago

Clearly, the Apple is a superior fruit. It keeps the doctor away. I need my fruit to act as a defense mechanism.

evildeli5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

I bet I can keep the doctor away if I throw an orange at them.

jaidek5157d ago

Very true, but why do you take vitamin C to prevent colds? hmm...

alphakennybody5157d ago

...the orange is the clear winner here, not only its a natural cure for small flu but it keeps clowns away. And the texture on that apple is horrendous ... what is this, 1996? But I have to admit the art direction of the apple is quite good.

mastiffchild5157d ago

Bah, my Dogue taught me the cl;ear winner here. Give him an apple and he MIGHT eat a bit after a while but an orange he'll use as a ball, then a drink and THEN he'll eat it. Using it as a ball just makes it juicier whereas turns the apple into an ugly, leaking mush that not even a mastiff will touch. Oranges it is-and they make a much better ball to begin with.

Nineball21125157d ago

Obviously, the OP is just an Apple Fanboy!

OpenGL5157d ago

My lack of health insurance keeps the doctor away just fine. ;)

Syronicus5157d ago (Edited 5157d ago )

Apples have a good claim to promote health. They contain Vitamin C, which aid the immune system and phenols, which reduce cholesterol. They also reduce tooth decay by cleaning one's teeth and killing off bacteria. It has also been suggested by Cornell University researchers that the quercetin found in apples protects brain cells against neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer's Disease.

Apples may be good for us but it wasn't their precise medicinal properties that were being exalted when the "apple a day keeps the doctor away" phrase was coined. In Old English the word apple was used to describe any round fruit that grew on a tree. Adam and Eve's forbidden fruit, which they ate in the Garden of Eden, is often described as an apple but, in the 1611 King James Version of the Bible, it is just called 'a fruit'.

ReservoirDog3165157d ago

Haha, bubbles to Syronicus for not only knowing the origin of that phase but also for the Inglourious Basterds avatar.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere3d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX4d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
