Multiplats running better and cross game chat/party system had a major impact on X360 sales in the US. The majority of people I have met at gaming events, in classes, work, and abroad mostly play multiplat titles, and they all play on 360 for the reasons above. Every now and then I will run acroos a fan of Gear, Halo, Uncharted, or Gran Turismo, but the are very few.
I believe the majority of consoles are sold on features of the console itself, and games like, Madden, FIFA, NHL, NBA, COD, GTA, and AC. The only exclusive I ever hear about is Halo, in the last Year The Last of Us has been pretty strong, but other than that every person I meet is almost always about one of the titles above and XBL.
The people that are downplaying GTA5, Destiny, Call of Duty, Assasins Creed, Madden, FIFA, Far Cry, and the rest of the third party titles will be in for a surprise this holiday when sales sky rocket. Then they will be surprised again when PS4 sales account for the major majority of these sales based on PSN + better frame rates/resolution.The general consumer is somewhat smart to things, and social media is going to be right there to jump on Sony and MS's backs if they underperform in any area.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
