Likewise, there are people who try to give the X1 every chance at every turn. At some point you have to just accept certain things.

What's so bad about that?  People supporting the PS4, Wii U and/or XB1 would seem like a good thing for gaming to me.  Relentlessly putting down any of them is destructive.  I will never understand actively and pervasively seeking out opportunities to belittle these consoles when we are supposed to want to the industry to flourish ...

Then I wouldn't only point out when it happens to the X1 because it happens all over these forums to all parties. If you want it to stop that's perfectly fine and I would love to see that as well but someone playing the victim card on behalf of their personal favorite console is being hypocritical. Finding positives is a good thing but when something is being blown out of proportion and made to seem like a bigger deal than it is, don't you think that's damaging as well in the long run? If someone is that desperate for good news then perhaps a more realistic viewpoint is needed instead of an overly optimistic one. That being said, I am impressed at how well the X1 is doing all things considered leading up to this.

I don't read or comment on every thread.  Though I'm most interested in an XB1 right now, I haven't decided on anything yet.  But, for the record, where I have been I don't see mobs relentlessly putting down the PS4.  I see it with the XB1 and the WiiU.  I do remember some pouncing on the low review scores of the PS4 launch games, but I did call people out on that as those scores are representative of your average launch games (which was evident with the XB1 as well).  But I haven't seen what you're referring to.  Maybe because I don't read a lot of PS4 threads like trolls would.

I do agree that things can be blown out of proportion to such an extent that it comes off as passive aggression toward the other consoles and their fanbases.  For instance, if someone were to say something like "well that makes it obvious now that the XB1 is the real console people wanted this BF", then I agree that is inflammatory and not constructive.  I haven't seen that here though.  At least not enough to matter.  Just a lot of attacking of something that shows the XB1 selling well.

In general, people just need to start communicating better.  Stop making statements that are so contentious and stop trying to ruin other people's fun.  It's petty and regressive as a society.
