Welp, So Much For That Generationless Market

Not really. I don't recall a lot of cross gen NES/SNES games or PS1/PS2 games or PS2/PS3 games or XBox/XBox 360 ... those are defined generations, now we are basically going away from that towards developers being forced to make the same game with like 3/4/5 different performance settings. These are basically just PC boxes now, subsidized and sold at cost by Sony/MS with a handful of exclusives and that's it. 

Were there as many as there are now? Probably not. But they still were there. Even more so when we got into the shift from PS1 to PS2. It's kinda hard to ignore 100M+ PS1's out there. Still, you couldn't pop a PS2 disc into a PS1 and expect it to work, just with less quality. That is what defines a new gen. Not whatever BS rational that MS or Xbox fans come up with to try to make them right.

The idea that Sony is constantly the shining knight in armor and MS is the "bad guy" is just stupid. Sony is doing the same exact shit MS is, they're just doing a crappier version of it and keeping the branding similar. 

But this is like a girl who's trying to convince herself that her boyfriend is the "good one" because he'd never cheat on her ... he just got a blow job from that other girl that one time, but that's not cheating because a blow job isn't sex. 

C'mon. This is real corporate cognitive dissonance if I've ever seen it.
