Don't play the ignorant card some of you, you know damn well why people hate xbox one. Worldwide is PS4. Get used to it. Even US prefers PS4. |
I think the point being made is that just because someone prefers the PS4, it doesn't automatically mean they hate the Xbox One. After all, the motivator being hate (keeping in mind it's a very strong word) would imply that one is buying the competition simply because it is NOT the item they 'hate.' That they are only ignoring the Xbox One because of some deep, personal grudge, not because the PS4 is actually more appealing. There ARE people who dislike, even hate, the Xbox One, certaintly. But in the case of Europe especially I believe that it is it isn't that they hate the Xbox One, they just don't really care about it, and are simply more interested in a Playstation console. It isn't hate, it's apathy. =P
Hate gives way too much credit to the Xbox One, by insinuating that its sales woes are due to some grand, emotional conspiracy against it. While it's various policies and screwups certainly didn't help it's image, I think that outside its usual stronghold markets especially, it was going to get its butt kicked regardless of its launch problems. At best, it might've gotten its butt kicked a little less. So, while hate might intensify the butt kicking, it isn't the reason for it. A lot of the people responding with incredulity did so because they, and I, believe that Dark was trying to imply that if people would just stop being so darned emotional and hateful, everyone would hop aboard the Xbox train. =P in the case of Europe especially, fat freaking chance.
