My post from GAF

Gratz MS. I aint even mad, they probably only won by a few thousand units.
PS4 either had a shortage, people are waiting for Batman bundle, or BloodBorne was crazy front loaded.
Who knows....

Why is it that whenever Xbox One wins something there are always people trying to downplay it.

"Yeah, Xbox One won but obviously it was only by a little bit and OBVIOUSLY because the PS4 had a shortage or something".

Or the reason could be that the Xbox One is a good console in its own right, but no that reason must not be good enough apparently.

Amazon say PS4 best SKUs at #41 and XBO best SKUs at #42, but have another XBO SKUs at number #55, so, we have XBO > PS4 in Amazon.

Yeah I noticed that too,same thing happens with Nintendo does something good, people downplay it.

Then now in this situation, its cool when PS4 wins by a small amount,its legit and fair, but XB1 beats PS4 again in a month and its because of ''insert excuse here''

I remember the same thing happening durng the holiday season, everyone said PS4 would win,but surprisingly XB1 did better during the holiday months and it was ''only because'' this and that

 

I find it silly

Yeah, it's really ridiculous. Some people just don't want to accept that the Xbox One will ever win anything apparently, even when it legitimately does they'll just try and find excuses to downplay it.

yeah let ignore some users that are jumping the gun and thinking the tides are turning just because they won one month.  Besides the downplay comes from anyone that is on front.  Apparently you weren't last gen on vgchartz when ps3 was getting beaten by 360 and Wii.  Everytime ps3 was showing progress, the downplay were huge.

It's only in reaction to people trying to draw conclusions based on the tight results.

There were 2 Xbox One SKU relatively close to one PS4 SKU. Also PS4 was sold out for a few day during April. It's just a screwed up month.
