So now people are claiming that being gen leader isn't important. How times have changed.  People certainly cared about comparing 360 and PS3 last gen, certainly cared when it was said Xbox had this gen on lockdown before last year's reveal, they still cared at launch when the gap wasn't that big.

But now it is no biggie and only Sony fans care about that kind of crap anyway.  I almost want X1 to start catching up to see people 180 again.  Almost

EXACTLY.  People like to act as if the One was neck and neck with the PS4, or even above, plenty of Xbox fans wouldn't be rejoicing and/or gloating.  I think if we just look at last gen, we know exactly how they would act.  If anyone thinks they wouldn't, I think there is some bias there.

It's exactly like the graphics/resolution argument.  Last gen, graphics for multiplats were brought up ALL the time, from BOTH sides.  And if the 360 came out on top, which was definitely the case early in the gen, they would mock the PS3.  And we're talking small differences, like a few extra blades of grass or a few extra lines of resolution.  Now, that the One is behind in the graphics department, and by larger differences, "graphics and resolution don't matter/you can't tell the difference."

Yeah man! And there's totally not another side to that coin either, bro. A side where "Sony fans" didn't care about graphics at all during the PS1/PS2 era, or the PS3 era unless Sony was putting out a great looking exclusive. And sales totally mattered during those two generations that Sony dominated! But last gen they didn't matter at all man! At least, not until late in the gen when PS3 may or may not have caught up to and passed the Xbox. Then hey, sales man! Don't pay the Wii any attention over there in first place jabroseph.

Generalizations are fun! So please tell us, why did you not care a lick about graphics until this gen?
