I'm not going to argue with your points--though I disagree with a couple. I just wanted to say that, last gen the gaming media kinda put "a hit" on the PS3. They loved bashing the console early in it's life. I think they sorta did the same thing with the Xbox One and the Wii U. Then, as time progressed, they were like "What have we done? We need to start praising them!"
Sometimes it's because a company actually fixed a lot of their issues but, from my point of view, not always. Early on, gaming media really bashed the Xbox One controller and praised the PS4. Now, most everyone praises the Xbox One controller over the PS4-- but it has barely changed. I have the originals and the newer ones. Aside from a headphone jack, I can't really tell if anything is different.
They did the same with the Wii U. The Wii U deserved the heat it got. I purchased mine on day one. It was near Xbox 360 levels of power and most games performed worse. The console had the worst 3rd party support you could imagine for a Nintendo console and the exclusives were good but lacking. Article after article would come out saying "You should buy a Wii U!" but by then, the damage was done.
It's like the media chooses the winner early on and then shapes a narrative to support it. But when things look too bad for a company, they swing the other way.
