I chose the first option, because that is what they would say publicly. However privately they would be disappointed. The thing about the caliber of brand loyalists that you encounter on forums such as these. Is that they trade in only one currency, and that currency is bragging rights. Every time they lose a talking point that they can spin into some extravagant narrative about how their console is the best. They get frustrated, but not in the least deterred. You can see it in this thread.
How many responses have there been in this thread where the poster said that it wouldn't bother them, because Sony would still be the best, because it would still have this or that. They just won't even acknowledge any kind of deficit, and they didn't even do it early in this generation. When PS3 games did look much worse then 360 games for quite some time. We just got lists upon lists of excuses.
