To be fair the XOne is exactly were its suposed to be, I mean the X360 was as sucessfull as it was cause PS3 screwed up badly, but Sony and the Playstation brand have an enormous following datting back to the PS1 days, as soon as ppl saw the PS4 was great they went back to Playstation, the fact that the One sells as well as it does despite the fact that ppl were just waiting an oportunity to return to Sony is an achievement for MS and a testament of what they managed to buil on the OGXbox and Xbox360 days.

So every competitor is destined to fail because of the PS1 and they only buy PS because they don't know better? Btw, I think the 360 was successful because it was an amazing console. This doesn't mean the PS3 wasn't, though. 

This, the way he makes it sound as if Sony is a literal god that bestows greatness upon anyone without it losing a fight but losing on purpose instead. That simply isn't the case though since the 360 was a good console for that generation and it brought some old and new within that generation.

People are also very quick to forget how arrogant Sony was last gen with their "get a second job if you want our console" which I still find more damning than "always online", especially since PS3 also started out at a higher price point and their cell cpu is also screwing them over with full on BC support compared to Wii U, XB1 and PC and yet no one is giving Sony huge blows for lack of BC, those that don't give it claim they don't care about old games and then suddenly they do when remakes or remasters come about which shows in the end that they do in fact care. I honestly don't know what planet people come from when they pay for something they intend to keep yet don't want to ever play it again in the future let alone on another device of the same brand and yet pay more for the same game with little added to it but still being the same game, I personally always want to play my games both old and new.
