PS4 is so close to 50% market share I can almost taste it

Well, Technically...

None of those terms are opinions.

Speculation is a theory or conjecture without firm evidence. You do not have evidence of how Sony finacials are set up to determine a reasonable guess of how they would react. A speculation is not just a guess, but a baseless guess. And since your paragraph didn't reference any firm evidence, then it is by definition Speculation.

Bias is an inclination of temperament or outlook to present or hold a partial perspective. Although I don't have any subjective(and solid) evidence on what that bias and so would be biased myself in describing that bias. Simply identifying that a Bias exists is an objective act in and of itself. Furthermore it is easy to tell because of your valuated claims such as "ps4 is not the center of the universe" and "company gets everything doing... mostly nothing". Insinuating that company(Sony) did nothing to get everything, discrediting it as though its on prospectives depends on its competiton is a valuated claim.

In addition you admited it was your opinion, so that presupposes Bias.

Downplay is the only term that could be argued as an opinion because it relies on the considered importance of said object being downplayed. However, I can objectively claim you are downplaying, commiting the action of downplaying, because of terms you used like "not as relevant" and "not as impressive".

So no. It is not an opinion about your opinion. It is a succint description about your opinion. Sure you can subjectively disagree with it, doesn't mean it is not an objective and correct fact.

Oh, and now you have a new opinion. One that says that your opinion is a correct fact. Interesting.
I´ll give you the first point though, there´s speculation on my opinion, that´s a fact. Everything else, is your opinion.

And let´s stop this here, please, it´s getting funny in a bad way.

Saying "it´s getting funny in a bad way." is an attempt to deflect the argument and make me doubt my previous claims because you have no rebuttal. Unfortunately for you, I am completly assurred in my stance. Since any one can simply search the terms I used and find the definitions I cited.

If you had any counter, you would have employed them, explaining how it wasn't downplay or bias. But you failed to do so. You even conceded that I was correct in my assertion of speculation.

You further attempt dismisal, by incorrectly claiming that the bolded is an opinion as well. 

Because EVEN if you disagree with that my claim is a fact, the statement itself cannot be an opinion. 

Disagreeing with a fact does not make it any less factual.

The only way a fact can be shown to be incorrect is by disproving it, something you did not do.

The only way to show the fact is not objective, is to point out the subjective assertions within the claim itself.

You have done neither.

The only way you can endeavor to do this is

*prove how your claim contains no Bias, because my claim was that Bias exists in your claim(which is not the same as describing that Bias, something that would be an opinion)

 *prove how your claim does not Downplay, which will be really hard because "relevant" is a synonym for importance, which is what the defintion of downplay involves.

On a sidenote: Don't take this personal, I just call it like I see it. (Objectively, in this case). Especially, when people make paragraphed claims. Few people are actually prepared to back up what they say. And rely on repeated tactics of dismisall, deflection, Ad Hominem attacks etc.
