Microsoft truly hurt themselves with that DRM reveal that is for sure, however ill still take these figures with a grain of salt.

Xbox 360 is completely understandable though.

Agreed, not sure why a wii only owner would skip out on the cheaper ps360 with the ammount of games on offer they missed.

Connoisseur... sounds elitist. Somehow I no longer want a PS4, I don't want to be associated with that kind of people.

Those Wii gamer looking for a life past mini games, party games, movie and cartoon tie-ins and wanting a greater variety in their 3rd party choices.

I feel like i should be mad that he insinuates i have no books on my bookshelves, but i actually don't god dammit, but thats more to do with the fact im a Kindle guy.

i have comic books. :P calvin and hobbes ftw!!

OT - of course sony is picking off ex-xbox fans. most gamers have no loyalty. anyone thinking xbox (or sony or nintendo) has more than ~10M loyal fans is blinded by wishful thinking.

The Wii was everywhere last gen and was the most popular in the mainstream.

This time PS4 seems like the most popular in the mainstream.

It will just be casual gamers following trends

They are the people who, when you walk in [to their home], there's no books on their book shelves. They're all game packages.

But... i have way more books than games

Aaaaaaand.... For all doubters of porting PS3 games, can you now see what market Sony is tapping. Almost 3 million newcomers that haven't played The Last of Us. And God of War and Uncharted, if we're to trust the rumors.

So much for that famous brand liyalty and XOne picking up on all those fans. Many are long gone to the blue side.

EDIT: This could mean huge August numbers for TLoU Remastered.
