MS can go ahead and ignore what the majority is saying. It will only lead to worse sales of XB1.... better for us PS4 fans.

This has got to be the dumbest statement, are you retarded? just asking, please explain how that is better for PS4 fans?

You didn't ask me, but:

If nothing else, It's better for PS4 fans because of its psychological effect. The current huge sales gap between PS4 and Xbox One gives PS4 owners the great feeling of having bought what is obviously the best console. while people who bought Xbox One will suffer from cognitive dissonance, giving them unconscious fears that they may have thrown 100$ out of the windows for a console that is actually inferior.

But there are other, more clear advantages that bad XB1 sales have for PS4 owners:

With bad XB1 sales, many video game developers will hesitate to make their game an Xbox One console exclusive title just because Microsoft is offering them shitloads of money to stop them from releasing a PS4 port.

With bad XBone sales, If the developers consider their own game to be bad or mediocre, they might still accept. But if they believe their own game to be a great game that will actually sell well, it would be a dumb idea to not release the game on what is easily the most successful console, and only release it on a console with a low market share. So: Bad Xbox One sales = Even more good PS4 games.

Maybe for the effect of PS4 owners feeling better, but from a business aspect it would cause quite a few developers to shutdown. My company would close and i would be out of a job if all we had was PS4 to make games for. PS4 alone is not enough to keep the game industry alive. Alot of companys would go bye bye. Which would cause less games for PS4.Like i said ,That's one dumest statement. How has PS4 benifited from poor Wii U sales? it won't, that's not the way it works. To want one console to fail is idiotic. It's pure ignorance. It would kill alot of 3rd part developers.
