Listen, I don't want to start a fanboy war. I agree with you that the PS3 actually did have some better multiplats then the 360 last year and probably was a better console to get in 2013 then, well, any. Look up the ratings yourself though, most XBOX multiplats are higher rated than on PlayStation. Also, the PS4 is just another console. Though Nintendo's consoles may not always do as well or be as superior, they always offer play styles only on them. You can get the "Sony" feel on PC or XBOX just without some exclusives.

No wars here man. I come bearing olive branches. If I see something I disagree with or is in err, then I’ll respond – that’s all.

I didn't say anything about the PS3 multiplats though. My argument was focused squarely on current gen (PS4 and XB1). The Xbox 360 had superior multiplats when compared to the PS3, for the most part. That's a losing argument I won’t get into.

And ratings for multiplats are tricky when you factor in some publications that exclusively rate games for one system or another. For instance, PSU might give MGS GZ on PS4 an 8 while XB Nation might give it a 10 on XB1 although the PS4 version is clearly the superior one (performance).

DF usually does a good job of showing which version is superior, performance wise. And with the exception of one game that comes to mind, I believe most games have been superior on PS4. We can go from launch titles like AC4 all the way up to games that released last month such as MGS GZ or articles about unreleased games such as Lords of the Fallen.

To be honest, while I like Nintendo, I find they rely too much on their legacy, and I don't find their "advancements" have been great of late. They offer updates to games I've been playing for years - which isn't bad - but a change would be nice. At least with Sony I get to experience things that deviate from the norm. Some are great and others are not so great, but that comes with risk taking I suppose. I suspect a large number of gamers share my sentiments considering the abysmal sales of the Wii U (though that's not conclusive).

I do agree on the uniqueness of Nintendo, and that's why I'll continue to buy their systems, but in my view I find their contributions have been the most muted of the 3 (or second most, take your pick) when you consider the last few years.

But that’s just my opinion, and you have yours. Nothing wrong with seeing things differently.
