That first line just had me backing away from it right off the bat, you could say that about every single console in history, unless they come with a built in screen, the consoles themselves have never been super exciting, I mean the Pikachu N64 had his cheeks light up red when you turned it on, but what do they want? More consoles like the CE models of the 360 for Gears and Halo with Sound effects from the game to make it exciting to turn it on?

I'd rather just have a powerful system with a lot of Software which is either on it or on the way for it due to its large marketshare, people said it was bad the wii getting so much shovelware but ya know even at it's worst it still meant there was a ton of variety to pick up and choose from and the market leader will always be the place where those games ends up, if you are launching a game which you know will have a less than 1% attach rate then dropping it on a system with 100m users at least means you can break the million sales mark, that is the advantage the PS4 has started this generation with and will probably keep onto unless they continue to make fuck ups like charging people 15 a pop for "BC" with ps2 games while their rival ports some of the best games of the X360 onto the system for free if you have the disk still laying about.

These guys get too much attention. I wonder what European and Japanese articles have to say?

The fact that this idiot actually compared PC gaming to owning a PS4 tells you everything you need to know. PC gaming does not compete with console gaming. Anyone who thinks otherwise has no damn clue about marketing and the industry right now. Yes, there are always some cross over, but in this case, it's so small that it's not worth thinking about. Out of those 30 million PS4's in homes, how many have gaming PCs? How many of those even THINK about building a rig? The answer... very few. PC gamers are their own breed. They're as separate from console gamers as handheld only gamers. Different products serving completely different demographics.

Given this guys education and the fact that he obviously knows better, I'd say his personal bias slipped into his writing on this one.

Different writer. Now I know to ignore all of Kirk Hamilton's articles.

In other news: The extra door for MS cash offerings that was installed last year at Kotaku Headquarters finally turned a profit!

I hope next years article will be more in favor of PS after this.

Improvement didn't matter so much last generation.

Agreed. A system that does exactly what I want and does it very well? Sign me up.

I have been thrilled with the PS4 and honestly 2016 could be one for the ages.  Other systems are fine, but for my tastes the PS4 is well on track to be the best system I've owned since the PS2.

Well, it's pretty obvious who's corner Kotaku is in. Whether that be because of financial contributions from MS or fanboyism. Either way, it won't help the XBO's situation. It is destined to sell less than half of the PS4. But, like I said in the other thread, quit with ridiculous articles trying to desperately sell your console of choice and just enjoy it, instead.

That's Kotaku...
