This thread was laughably one sided, maybe try to at least pretend to be objective? Easy to tell an xbox fan made it. MS made their bed, take it like a man geez.

 

I bet when the ps3 ws being blasted for several years and made fun of you were nowhere in site saying it was "Unfair".


Go find where I ever criticised the PS3 back then.  I never did, I never have really, I rarely if ever criticise hardware or games.... I just fdont buy them if I dont like them. Consumer have a choice right, their real power isnt being vocal about it, it is simply not buying the product. 

As I recall Sony was only criticised due to the price of the PS3, the fans rallied to say "its worth it" and that was pretty much that.  Sony reduced the price in quick time (had their own 180) and the rest is history, it wasnt a big deal.  This is far bigger.

But.... If you could be arsed to read the whole article (I didnt wirte it, its from the Guardian's gaming commentator) and stopped being so ironic in your posts you would see that it actually attacks all sides of the gaming forum community, this isnt about the XB1 in isolation. 

I never said YOU criticized the Ps3...........And it was a lot more then price, Sony took a tonne of heat for numerous issues, including lack of games, price, poor network, terrible marketing, hard development environment.

This is NOT far bigger, Sony was going DREAMCAST many were saying for a good long while even major media outlets, and if you owned a PS3 you were ridiculed. You're seeing this from a  very biased point of view obviously. Even big developers (John carmack, Gabe newell, publically called sony out)

 

The gaming community is trash yes, but MS really did deserve a lot of the bashing, what were they thinking? I mean almost anyone could have predicted a backlash with what they were proposing.
