I and many of the Xbox fans are not talking about parity with PS4.... I for once don't care what PS4 does and is capable of... I have no intend to buy one... the exclusive don't interest me for the most part... the features don't attract me and the overall ergonomics of it from the UI to the gamepad to all the add ons and gimmicks don't attract me either...

what I care though is about what will be improved on my console of choice and to what extend.... don't really care if it will compare or not to PS4 I'm not getting one so what's the point ???

it's like for smartphones... I have zero interest in iOS and will not buy a product infected by Google... I am happy with WP8.... but I am still very interested by what WP8.1 will provide.... I don't really care if it compares to Android or iOS good for them if it does... what I care about is the direct benefit I will gain with the improvement not some benchmark comparison useful for pissing and dick size contest purposes only....

Bottom line I see more PS4 fans coming in those thread downplaying things or trying to find new angles to attack every time something positive for us customers (not especially in comparison to PS4 once again) than I see XBO users claiming that now the XB is better or on par....

Very true.

Still leaves the question what you are doing in a forum that was made for console comparison sake rather than an Xbox only forum.  Also the word parity was first thrown by the Xbox crowd which shows that they apparently DO care about comparison.

That we PS fans care about comparison is only natural because it makes our choice of console look better.


well you'll notice that I rarely venture out of the Microsoft forum :D

I got on that website in 2007 for sales purposes.... and I'm still interested by that subject, as a matter of fact I follow sales of many tech products because I used it in my school projects back in undergrad/grad and still have an interest in it today 

and this is the only site I use regularly for my VG needs... even though the war is fierce even in those parts I still find it more civilized around here.... especially with the mean mods we have :P (just kidding) and besides I still like to know what is going on in the market and I find that a lot of the community members are doing an amazing job at reporting news from the other websites.... that doesn't mean I feel the need to compare it to my choices every time something positive happen on the other platforms or my platform of choice....

bottom line I do belive that the gap will widen on some parts and close on others as the gen goes on.... but all in all it will be less and less noticeable outside of technical comparaison with increase of quality on both sides.... because unless you look for it it will get harder and harder to notice defects while activelly gaming as quality improves.... a good exemple is the crowd in games like fifa or forza.... yeah sure you can notice the downgrade in forza and see the 3d people moving and reacting in real time now in fifa if you pay attention but to be fair when I actually race or play a match in fifa I rarely pay attention to the crowd....
