PS4 Was the Console with the Most Quality Exclusives in 2016

Bullshit. Look no further than that "Facts vs Fanboys" pic that is still being used to this day on this site. 

 

"Only retail exclusives with a metacritic score of 75%, blah, blah, blah". It's always been used in PlayStation's favor and it's always been relevant. Nobody can talk down about the quality of the PS4 library. They can only speak about personal preferences. It's crazy how PS fans have virtually every advantage--from sales to games to hardware power to VR and still somehow try to sound victimized.

You wanna know the honest answer? Schadenfraude. 

PS fans were shat on pretty much all last gen, with the "terrible" PS3 launch (even though it sold more than 360, launch aligned), multiplatform games performing worse on PS3, losing exclusives left and right, former exclusives going Xbox exclusive (like Ace Combat), and more. 

Then, this generation came and every criteria that got the PS3 shat on is happening to the XBOne. I certainly reveled in it for a bit (but, I have an XBOne now and don't really care anymore), but to see all those things "not matter" anymore to those same people, now that it applies to their console of choice was fun to gawk at. Even more so because a lot of people, apparently, have short term memory problems and don't remember how much things like "superior multiplats" was trumpeted by the Xbox crowd, until the PS4 had games with better resolutions and frame rates. As someone who remembers it vividly from last gen, it's was entertaining to have a  "how's it feel?" mentality and the only response was dissonance and "I don't know what you're talking about. We weren't like that last gen". Oh, yes you were!

We're all hypocrites.

I had a long elaborate response typed up full of examples but my wife distracted me and I'm not sure it made sense. But yeah. We're all hypocrites and, at some point, we all want to be the underdog and victim.
