Why does Watch Dogs help PS4 but do nothing for XB1

 you fail to realis it doesn't matter to me as i own them both nd will get to experience both side exclusives.  but to say one is light years superior is wrong and sad in my opinion.

I'm not failing at anything. It's you who doesn't understand why people act the way they do and it's because you don't understand that most people don't want to spend $1000 up front to buy two consoles that share 90-95% of their games. They just want to pick one and spend the rest of that money on games. You are the minority. Now, when people see that PS4 offers noticably better hardware (you are the one who said "light years superior", so don't imply as if I said anything like that) in a smaller box and for a better price, they buy the better product. They know the games look better, will look better in the future, Sony's 1st party support has been superior in the past and right now WD was released with extra content on PS4 - why would they pick an XO at this point? PS4 gives them better value for money (objectively undeniable) and the majority of people choose it. People like the feeling of making the right purchase and getting the most out of their money, we are that way and Sony is the way to go if you want the most. If you personally don't mind getting less bang for your buck - you are free to buy the XO version. It's very good as well, just not as good as the PS4 version. The experience is very good, but more expensive and not quite as good as on PS4. It may not bother you, but don't act surprised that the average consumer chooses the better product.

MS really has to nail it in the next hour, I expect them to give us a lot of bullshots and Halo 2-like trailers just to steal the show from PS4, but they are pretty much forced to do it. If they don't win very, very significantly, the generation is over for them and all that is left for them is competing with Wii U.
