2) IMHO Xbox live is vastly superior than psn in almost every way imaginable at this point. I’ve used both plenty and it’s just an opinion. I spend most of my time doing online stuff so this is a big one.

It technically is superior to the Playstation Network.
Microsoft not only has more servers available thanks to Azure... But, they also spend more on bandwidth and have more peering arrangements with various CDN's.
Some providers in Australia will also capture the Xbox data traveling down PIPE (Using extremely expensive equipment) and push it onto their own CDN very early, which has ridiculous amounts of bandwidth and super low latency.

3) halo.... it’s actually 3 games currently mcc,halo 5, and hw2.

Master Chief Collection was and still is a buggy mess.
Halo Wars 2 isn't exclusive.
Halo 5 is probably the worst Halo mainline game yet.

Hoping the franchise gets back on track with Halo 6... But, Halo hasn't got the same luster as it once did during the Halo 3/Reach era that's for sure, it needs a good solid reboot, it worked for Call of Duty WW2 and Battlefield.

In Brazil it is common for PC games to launch about 140-160 (local currency) versus console at 250... Sony published are 200 which is a plus on console gaming. 

That is a significant discrepancy all things considered.

If backwards compatibility and biggest library of old games that still run as well as multi-platform games is ALL you care about, then you might as well just get a PC!! With MAME and every other known emulator you can play PC games from 40 years ago, as well as Consoles games too, all on your PC. You don't need an Xbox One for that.

If you already own the games on Xbox, it doesn't make sense to ignore that library and purchase them again on PC.
That is the big advantage on offer here from Xbox.

Man if you find 150 to 250 a big discrepancy, India has PC games from Konami, Square Enix and some publishers release at INR 1000 compared to all console games on PS4 at INR 4000 and Xbox One at INR 4200.

2- I don't care what you're talking about. I'm talking about what happening right NOW.

5- that's your opinion.

2 - You don't care because it didn't fit to your point anymore.

5 - All your points were your opinion, so?

2- The article is talking abou NOW, everyone else is talking about NOW, I am talking about NOW. You want to include the past? Fine, then PSN loses by default because it got hacked numerous times, including a 6-week period in 2011, where people's indentities and credit cards were at huge risk. If we talk about the Past, the gap only gets bigger in favour of xbox.

5- are you saying backwards compatibility is an opinion? It exists, and that's a fact. Same with game pass, digital returns, and whatnot.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

2- yes, but my initial answer to you was about historic and you just ignored it and then backpedal

5 - the relevance is opinion and the other points you put as strengths were also opinion. If you want to dismiss opinions then don't ask to not be called out.

Impossible to facepalm any harder. That's a remake of a game that is 2 gens behind. Read the post, i don't very much enjoy wasting time. " I agree with the classic ones, but coming with a by the numbers comparison that includes last gen games "

Correction. It's a remake of a game already remastered once, for the PS3 no less. Keep working on that facepalm.

 

Yes, of course remakes and backwards compatibility are the same. It's the world that is wrong, not you. For real.

I know it comes to preferences but Xbone is one of the worst console if not the worst console in gaming.

Never seen such damage control for the lack of exclusives. Xbone will never have something of a masterpiece as Yakuza 6.

this gen started off with PS4 as my system of choice for multi-plats as of the X release PS4 Pro is now for Sony's exclusives. X1X for all multi-plats and MS exclusives.

Well, it does go a long way to explain why someone might choose a specific platform in certain regions... Rather than just chalking it up to mere brand preference.

Surely the worst mainstream console by a significant margin.

 

I'm stealing this from Twitter, but it has achieved zero cultural releavance.

Yes piracy is another reason people prefer PC here. Either they get the game cheap else at no cost at all. That makes it a lot more affordable to just drop massive amounts to build a powerful rig by saving on software.
