Well, the reasoning for the console war in general is because people want to justify their purchases, and want to tell you that you're an idiot for choosing differently. It's also something the media likes to leverage web traffic, via click-bait/inflammatory articles designed to troll fan-bases (which is also supported by extremely weak moderation in the comments section, which allows giant mud slinging contests to erupt...we've all seen them).
But, PS4 and X1? There's no war there. Maybe at some point in the future there will be, but right now it's more of a massacre (sales-wise, strictly speaking). |
it's a massacre when it is PS4 + X1 vs Wii U, which if you ask me, is the real console war. PS4 and X1, take your pick because theyre on the same side. They do the same thing and get the same kinds of games. The Wii U, on the other hand, actually offers things that are different. So these are the two sides, the two options, that consumers have. If you choose a ps4 or x1, youre choosing something that is on the same side. if you choose wii u, you are choosing something that is on the opposite side.This is the divide that is in this generation.

Disagree, there's absolutely zero sense in lumping PS4 + X1 together. What exactly does nintendo offer that's different? Playstation and Xbox get family friendly games, PS and Xbox have motion control, PS controller has touch sensitive controller. So, I disagree with that statement. If anything, Xbox and Sony are different from Nintendo because they'll actually get mature AND family friendly games consistently.
The divide is pretty much yours and whoever really cares about this idiocy, honestly. I play the games I enjoy, on the platforms I prefer, if other people choose differently, that's fine and it's to be expected. Everyone has different tastes and I don't feel threatened when those tastes don't exactly align with my own.
