| Frequency said: the last time Sony consoles dominated, PS1 and PS2 we ended up with vast libraries of great games on a single system, despite buying all 3 I am all for that happening again. It must be fairly frustrating for the hardcore Microsoft fan though, to be on top for much of this generation like the popular guy in highschool, then not only have the carpet swept from under your feet at the last second, but facing the prospect of spending the remainder of your college years in the shadow of the new mr popular, though the same was said for the PlayStation fan when mr popular ps2 got to college and his room mate Xbox 360 got all the girls - i suppose if were sticking with that theme in the end ps3 grew up and got rid of the acne, bottle-bottom glasses and became popular too. You can call out xbox fans for their story changing avoidance tactic ways all you want though, just know and understand that if the tables were turned its the playstation fans that would be doing all of the defending, much like they did with the PS3 in the early days. Only major difference here is that as a console brand, despite all of Microsofts piles of money, despite a matured and excellent network infrastructure, the PlayStation brand is just more widely liked around the world, evident from the PS3 playing catch up (but actually catching up) since the day it was launched, despite the higher press, less games and usually the crapper version of multiplats. Launching with the opposite climate, the public favor, lower price point and virtually identical launch windows, the Xbox One doesnt stand a chance in the short or longterm, i just hope it does well enough sales wise to have a long and fruitful life as there are a fair number of promising and enjoyable IPs attached to them. Anyone wishing their failure, are essentially wishing the demise of very good franchises, in which case you are wanting the destruction of games purely because those games arent on your chosen system, and you need to grow up. Xbox fans that cling to the prospect that the xbox one has hidden power, or will match or even beat the ps4 this generation, also need to wake up and smell the coffee, it isnt bad to remain an xbox fan, not by a long shot, enjoy the console and enjoy the games, and playstation fans, we get it the PS4 is more powerful, and is most likely going to sweep this generation with ease, its obvious so shut up and play your games theres no need to kick others while theyre down, just be realistic about things or regardless of which side youre on, or which side comes out on top, you move from being a fan to being a fanboy. |
