No it's cool man. We all have different opinions and I would never state anything I said as absolute fact lol. I don't have anything against people who don't play as much as myself or others or anything. Some people are busy n stuff and that's totally fine. The problem I have is with the people who think "Oh, X is popular so therefore it must be the best and Y must suck".
Though I do disagree about the "coolness" thing being the same as it was last gen. I say it's much more prevalent this gen. Especially because online gaming took off this gen. It's a huge craze. It's one thing for someone to hear about how someone spent their night playing a certain game, and a completely different thing to hear about how someone spent their night playing a game with a bunch of people that you know. It creates this kind of social need to experience the same things so you don't feel left out.
I'm not saying I hate online gaming or that Playstation doesn't also use online features lol, just that I personally beleive that a great deal of the 360 fanbase is only interested in the console/gaming because of the "trendy" factor and most of them could honestly care less what Sony or Nintendo offer. As long as the Xbox brand is strong, they will transfer to the next Microsoft console without a second thought.

Surely the "trendy" factor is the easiest factor to lose? The Wii had it with the casuals last gen, and that hasn't translated at all to the Wii U. 360 had it last gen with core multiplayer gamers, but if they really do have a built-in Kinect 2.0 can they keep that? I'm not sure Kinect would be seen as trendy by the people you say will "transfer to the next Microsoft console without a second thought".

yes americans are trendy (and I'm one who goes against this trend). They went from PS2 to Wii to 360 very rapidly (a couple years). People who act like Xbox is too big or too entrenched as most popular need to look at PS2 sales.
