I don't know why you react so emotionally all of a sudden. In earlier replies I told you I respected your honest replies and I never insulted you. You blame me for not being able to take criticism but it now it seems you should practice what you preach.

For the record, I'm not annoyed, insulted or offended in any way, I'm just trying to have a level-headed discussion with you. Also: I am a happy owner of a PS4 and do not plan on buying a Switch (although I do enjoy Nintendo games).

Yet it is a fact that the PS4, even at launch, was a system of moderate power and now, 4 years later, it obviously is grossly underpowered. That is not a slight on the system, like I said, I am a happy PS4 owner and games look terrific on it. But Switch games look beautiful as well. If you can't enjoy Switch because you value graphics so much, I just can't see how you could be happy with PS4's relatively low resolution and framerate ... most games are 30fps on PS4 (which doesn't bother me), so why attack Switch where most Nintendo games are 60fps? I'm not criticizing you or the PS4, I just can't understand it, that is all.

I reacted because I have been as cautious as possible across a ton of posts on this thread to be as diplomatic as possible when trying to make my point, simply saying that I feel bad cause I wished Nintendo had made a dedicated home system. Not sure why people feel that I can't wish for a dedicated home system to play game like BOTW but anyway, my point being that I have been diplomatic about it at least as much as possible.

Then you suddenly out of nowhere decided to attack me, call me silly all of a sudden and try to attack me by calling the Pro not just underpowered but GROSSLY underpowered... Which is fine if you feel that way, but here in this context and out of nowhere I suddenly became an idiot (silly meaning idiot) that is too dumb to buy a Switch and instead buys a grossly underpowered PS4 Pro...

I don't mind criticism when in context and reasonable, but calling the most powerful console EVER built and since November 7 the second most powerful console ever built grossly underpowered and adding on top that I'm an idiot for choosing it. You'll have to forgive me but after our exchanges of opinion which have been really nice and reasonable, I am like: where does that aggression even come from?

Now I am not unreasonable and unlike some I don't mind criticism of a system and if you wish to speak of the Pro, I'm totally fine with it but next time, I don't know, introduce the issue instead of suddenly and out of nowhere attack me and call me silly for my choice. Can you imagine if in my first post here I would have opened with "Hey everybody here: you guys are all silly cause you chose to buy the grossly underpowered Switch"... I think I would have been hunted down and crucified.

So yeah, if I give someone the courtesy of speaking of an issue diplomatically, shall I say? I expect the same in return. If I open up attacking you or someone else then you may attack back, I won't complain but waving a white flag and getting shot in return, well sorry but I wasn't expecting it I guess.

I didn't mean to insult you. I never called you dumb, I said that criticizing Switch's lack of power (you mentioned 900p 30fps) made you look silly because PS4 barely does it any better. Like I said, I think it's a silly argument.

I don't think many PS4 fans would call the PS4 a powerhouse of a console, it never was... That's why it's always been affordable, unlike the PS3 which was much more powerful at the time. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you value power and graphics so much, what the hell are you doing with a PS4?
