Sony fans won this war. Holla, dogs.

The established beachheads on gaming sites all over the web and from there eventually captured the whole internet. They hit hard and fast, turning every situation to their advantage. While Nintendo fans dwindled, Sony fans proliferated; while Xbox fans entrenched themselves at Xbox.com, Sony fans conquered forum after forum.

Relentless, passionate, and completely devoid of mercy.

Sony fans won this war. Sony just went along for the ride.

I don't think kinect is the issue nor the media centric focus. The main issue is the weaker hardware. I'd happily pay £500 if it trounced the PS4 spec wise but alas MS were being led by idiots who thought they could get away with weakish hardware and charge a lot more for it. Silly fools.

To be fair to MS, Sony completely wrong footed them by releasing a games console that very much focused on the gaming side of things. I'm sure MS thought Sony would've done something similar to them DRM and Multimedia wise. And to make matters worse right at the last minute Sony doubled the RAM which really screwed MS over giving the PS4 176GBs of bandwidth when we all thought it was going to be 88GBs. The best MS could counter with was up the clock speed and free up more ESRAM bandwidth.

It's still tracking above most consoles ever released.

No, don't worry about your "memories" or "facts".

PS4 is ahead this gen, clearly logic no longer matters here.

OP. Nintendo is the only company solely focused on gaming.

I'm happy that Microsoft is being dominated though.

by giving us hardware a generation hehind the competetion and motion controls. no thanks,

So because it has weaker hardware it's not focusing on games? Really now? What are they focusing on then?

Motion controls? Of the 4 games I bought there's barely any motion control and when it is added, it's added value. AND optional.

You're just trolling.

yea weaker hardware is not gonna be able to do future ps4/X1 games any justice, even if the wiiu sold great, its struggling to run 360/ps3 games, how do you think its gonna handle future ps4/X1 games. just look at battle field 4, its a different game on 360/ps3. unless all you wanna do is play nintendo games.

So how many great exclusives are there on your PS4 that you had to buy it full price?

Games look just fine on the Wii U. The only one to blame for struggling ports are the developers, not the Wii U.

Battlefield 4 is a game that was riddled with bugs and glitches the day it came out. Not worth the money no matter how much they patch it. I made that mistake with RTW2.

It's not. It's the second fastest selling console of all time.

I will laugh when X1 does not sell better after the price drop.
I said from the beginning that price is not the main issue.

if you compare anything to PS4 its not going to look great. Come on, I have no lost love for xbox but considering the price its doing well, its doing better than Wii U in the same time frame at a 150 more. Not bad at all.
