Link to source that Xbox One is more popular with teens in the US than PS4? I only ask because PS4 is the de facto standard dudebreh machine of this gen like 360 was before it, and all my son and his friends game on are PS4's.

Ok, so no concrete source. A survey of 1100 kids where IIRC there was a 1% difference in the answers.. that's cool I guess. I mean, a quick Google search gave me this: https://www.dailygame.net/features/teens-prefer-ps4-xbox-one-christmas-survey-finds I also remember a survey around the start of the gen that said PS4 owners prefer higher resolution over exclusive games or even game library itself. I very highly doubt you agree with that, lol.

Either way this survey clashes with logic thanks to sales.

The last thing i think about when i look at games like The Last Guardian, Nioh, Bloodborne, Yakuza, Ni no Kuni, Gravity Rush 2, etc is "Dudebreh".

Just because the PS4 is the most Popular Console today doesnt mean that it locked the "Dudebreh" market that belongs on Xbox consoles.

Yeah... that's not really how it works. I mean, I could just as easily say that when I look at games like Cuphead, Ori, Forza Motorsports, Recore, D4, or hell even Halo Wars 2 (its a RTS) I don't see dudebreh! Your argument falls apart when you look at sales. I know this website is not the most reliable when it comes to sales, but if you added all the PS4 sales from those games you listed, it wouldn't even crack the top 10 in PS4 game sales. So while it's nice that consoles have large varieties of game types and it's awesome that PS4 has those games for those people interested, sales show that a vast majority of its owners are not interested in those games, and many many many more are interested in the brehest of dudebreh games. Furthermore all those dumb deals MS had last gen are now squarely in the PS4 camp. Dude, get CoD on PS4 you get maps early. Dude, get Destiny on PS4 you get exclusive stuff. It's ok, this is something that comes with being the most popular console in the US. It becomes the dudebreh platform of choice.

This seems to be straying off the topic though, so I won't touch the dudebreh stuff again.
