"Xbox One backlash has been <unfair>" says Peter Molyneux.

I agree with him, I mean look at how some haters refuse to give it credit for anything at all even when they're proven wrong.

Take the claim haters made about Microsoft turning its back on gamers for example. E3 came around and the haters were expecting Sony to crush Microsoft in terms of exclusives and then Microsoft actually announced more for their console. Instead of admitting they were wrong they instead claim Microsoft was crushed at E3 even though in terms of games they weren't. This is probably the first year that games ever took a backseat in terms of importance at E3 and only because Microsoft won it on those terms so the goal post was moved by the haters.

Then there's Xbox Live and the constant bashing it took over the years for charging for online gaming. I remember some Playstation gamers saying they'd never pay for online and would move to PC if it ever happened on a Playstation console. Now we see that it has and they're preordering and making excuses, I haven't seen any kind of serious backlash with large groups of Playstation gamers moving to PC.

Another one is the indies, last generation you'd hardly hear a peep about them even though the 360 was the console that brought them to console gaming. In fact I remember people having list wars and refusing to even put XBLA games let alone indie games in the lists because they didn't consider them in the same league as retail games. Now I see Xbox One vs. PS4 list wars and suddenly indie games are listed side by side with retail games for exclusives. Just another goal post that was moved when it serves their purpose.
