Lol that guy is probably dumber than pachter - if you can last more than 5 minutes on any of his videos you may have induced a tumour.

He isnt really wrong about what he is saying.  (He is talking about N4G)

 "If nintendo would have lost 1.1b which is over 3x more than what they lost everybody would have been talking about it, but instead nobody is talking about it."  

"The Order 1886 gets announced 30fps and  "its okay".  When microsoft announces 30fps it gets blasted."

These are both examples he uses, not mine but he is right.  He also says it isnt just the sony fanbase that does this stuff, he just believes theyre the main perpetrators of hypocricy and damage control. 


I think the only issue is that when Microsoft announce 30 frames-per-second it is usually accompanied by a lower resolution such as Dead Rising 3 being 720p or Ryse being 900p, both of which have unstable frame-rates that can often fall below 30 frames-per-second. Or it is a multi-platform game that runs at a superior frame-rate on the PlayStation 4, whilst also running at a superior resolution - the only example I can think of is Tomb Raider: Definite Edition. I tend to stay out of the bickering, but Microsoft themselves have previously said that they deliberately did not targeted high-end graphics with their new console, so I guess the fan-boys (all of which are awful and just as bad as each other) for PlayStation like to point that out, whilst the Xbox fan-boys try to say there will be parity when that will never be the case unless the PlayStation version is deliberately gimped. 

Yes, Sony recently made a loss, but that is nothing new. It is not news, it is to be expected. Their being in profit is the bigger news as that is something relatively new.

Edit: Regarding the frame-rate of The Order: 1886 I believe this IS a design choice, as by the sounds of things there are some very sophisticated effects at play, and they are going for a cinematic feel. The same was claimed about Ryse (900p being a design choice), but I believe that was more of a hardware limitation as it would have looked phenomenal in 1080p and that cannot be denied. Ryse was aiming to be all pretty, so to choose a lower resolution doesn't make sense.
