And what is the right conclusion? And yeah, I guess there is the Vita thread, but I consider that to be an off-shoot rather than one of the main threads.

What happened is that JayWood encouraged everyone to post exclusively in the Xbox thread and have it be a safe haven from the onslaught of negativity caused by Microsoft's braindead Xbox One decisions. The post count of Xbox Empire came at the expense of all other threads in Microsoft Discussion. When JayWood was removed from the site, things began to normalize again.

Well, another reason why discussion dropped dramatically too I believe is that many of the people either went to other sites (like VizionEck as the PS guys did), or started speaking on Skype (and later Discord) instead of the community threads.
