whats the point in saying that the ps4 won the generation?. or any console, i just dont see the point... i agree with competition, but not in fanboy wars.
from the way i see it, the playstation brand became a cultural phenomenon, when the ps1 came out it transformed the paradigms of gaming world, people just stoped talking about nintendo and mario, and started talking about playstation, gran turismo, metal gear, etc. the playstation just changed the way kids and young people interacted with each other, and it maintains that way just like nintendo did in its time, and it just became in a determinant and referential factor for any gaming theme or subject and that just wont change because its a part of the world history and the impact it generated on the world was of great magnitude. i dont want to sound so melodramatic, but the playstation altered generations of people thoughts and they started to connect in a new gaming universe, just a new experience. it just transcends cultural differences. it turned in the middle point for many cosmivisions of the world to meet and interact. thats why i always think that playstation its not just originally for japanese people or culture. the playstation its Venezuelan (me here) just as much as it is japanese or american, or european, etc. is a worldwide and historic phenomenon. just a common factor for many idiosyncrasies. not many things can do that.
i dont feel like i am exagerating, because at least with me it was that way, the videogame world became an important part of my life thanks to playstation. thats why i will always be a playstation fan, but that doesnt mean that i have to hate the xbox brand. the xbox brand is just doing the same thing that playstation and nintendo did in its time and still doing. its becoming in a social fact, is changing the way a generation thinks and entertain, is becoming in a universal and social matter. maby not in the same scale as playstation and nintendo. but is doing it, and i am sure the xbox is an important part of many people lives just as playstation is to me. this is what we need to pass on to others.
make love not war, lol xd.
