Well short of doing a census or mass survey, all I have to go on is the dozens - hundreds of vocal opinions on a few prominent forums and YT comment sections, which I believe show the hardcore gamers true colours when not under threat of moderation, that in the last years of the previous gen, whenever 360 XBLA games dwarfed the PSN offerings, fans referred to PS3s superior retail exclusive lists.

It is farily logical to say that fans will always go with the arguing point that best suits their interests. Xbox fans said digital mattered and the competition downplayed it with their own strengths (retail exclusives).


But you can't shame an individual and hold them to what you percieve the consensus of the group they were in to be.  That's just ridiculous.  

"Your people's stance on _____ has changed since last gen" not only assumes that you know what an entire group was thinking, but that the individual you were talking to is part of that group, and finally that he/she also has changed their stripes along with the group.  You're basically calling someone a hypocrite through a back door and foregoing any need for proof because you can't possibly prove an absolute about a large group without a huge amount of work so you get let off the hook.  


Indeed, especially when you know a lot of old X360 fans became the new PS4 fans

Well when they heard that PS4 had a paywall for MP, it sealed the deal. It made the cultural transition easier for them :P.

I kid....couldn't resist.
