LTTP? ive been in the "party" the whole year, hence why i haven't spent much time on the internet arguing over video games.

i was teasing your tease of the PS4 slogan...

its hard to know if someone is teasing or being serious through the internet, especially on a gaming forum.

How does that compare to the install base in the UK?

I will say that 2017 was a much stronger than usual year for PS vs. XB. PS4 had several big exclusives, while XB really only had 2 that I can think of (Halo Wars and Forza). So, it will be interesting to see how this goes over the next couple of years. Of course, it seems likely that PS will have stronger exclusive lineups than XB for at least the next couple of years. So, maybe we need to look back a couple of years....

Considering MS is still to really make their promise to increase 1st party true, not sure the landscape will change in the near future (couple years). There have low reason to expect any sensitive change on this gen.
