And what you believe? That people go for these consoles for variety of games? That people are killing each other to have a ps4 to play persona? star ocean? indie games? and x1? ori? sunset?

I don't know if you know but there are a lot of people outside these forums that don't give a shit for these games that we praise on videogame websites, they just look the case and say "cool" and add to their cods and fifas collection. If you don't believe in what i say, then we must live in different worlds

Outside of adolescents who can't afford to purchase more than a handful of games anyway (and are usually just as happy to play cartoony games), i believe that people buy and play the consoles and games that best suit their tastes. Major titles like COD, FIFA, and GTA certainly don't make you look 'cool' amoung the core market in forums and the like, and yet we still see a significant number of people who buy them. Curious that. You'd almost think they just liked them or something.

I expect variety also plays a big role for many. If you buy a PS4 or X1, there's a very high chance that they'll have or will have the types of games you like (though with specific quantity variations between them). Titles like SO or inFamous might be less popular than very mainstream titles like COD, but such titles will likely end up representing a significant portion of both consoles libraries software titles.

 

Claiming that "you look cool playing mature and realistic looking games" is a more valid reason for the X1's success than simply "it provides the experiences its install base wants" makes you no better than those that claim Nintendo only makes 'kids games'. People buy want they like, and they play what they like. Regardless to if you like what's mainstream or what the X1 and PS4 offers, that's reality.

This post covers pretty much everything i have to say on this particularly silly topic, so i'll leave you to it from this point ^^ I need to go feel cool playing GTA5.

I don't get why people get so defensive on this, In any moment i generalizate and said that evebody who purchase realistic and mature looking games buy because it looks cool (i like gta and infamous too). But the reality is that MANY (I'm not saying all) take or avoid the game by the look, only because that.

Terrible example infamous, the realistic looking AAA title that Sony fans like to showcase because grapixxx, but anyway... stay cool thats what we ALL want to be! 

Edit: Do you wanna know another reason why X1 passed the Wii U this soon? Because they dropped the price really fast to make it cheaper than ps4, if they didn't then we wouldn't be talking about this
