Microsoft is deserving of praise, not criticism, for XBox 1 not having many exclusives

Yeah, not pulling out. But making a move as to say they're not really competing against the PS4. Remember how "units sold" was all the rage for Microsoft last gen? Well that's not their thing anymore. It's now "active users". Obviously touting units sold wouldn't make sense when the competition dwarfs you in that category. Just switch it up a bit and make it sound good.

Remember when power meant nothing to PS fanboys? Then PS Pro released and they mocked X1 fans because rhey became the most powerful. Now X1X is coming and all of a sudden power means nothing. It's all about exclusives now. This type of thing isn't new though. Exclusives have always been the main argument when it comes to console gaming. Now all of a sudden the console with the fewest exclusives should get the most praise. Nonsense!

Everyone knew the XB1X was going to be stronger and deliver better performance than the PS4 Pro before the Pro even launched. Not sure where you were for the past year, but I didn't see many PS fans lauding the Pro over Xbox fans because they knew they'd be eating crow by November 2017 if they did. It's always been a list war to the PS fans, because it's a fight they will win every time against Xbox.

Do you follow any of the gaming sites Facebook pages? Because even now it's a thing. No one cared about eating crow because they knew they'd just switch the argument down the road. Now we're arguing about exclusivity and not power. And it's cool if MS wasn't to make X1 and PC one and the same. But don't say we should be praising a console for its lack of exclusives. What will they show at conferences if the competition will be showing the same thing as well as more?
