Let me get this straight, Xbox is on the surge because after losing 40% of their userbase they are preparing for a new gen and will "sell much better because of reasons"?

And I also got that GOTY awards should be counted by the ones you agree or not so you can shift which game was the GOTY winner for the year. Even though you consider awards are useless and metacritic doesn't matter.

Oh I wouldn’t take you for this, he should have said “brand/PR surge”. I’m sure you are aware they have been setting themselves up for a fresh start (with their shit together this time) for the past couple years. A guys allowed to be optimistic and certainly we are all aware of XB1s market share. 

I would accept this explanation for the first post with it, but then he reiterated. Sure he is allowed to be optimistic, but there is a valley between it and claiming it will be the success he is expecting based just on wishes.

"The surge of Xbox is being missed read for some odd reason. I am not referring to this generation I am referring to the Xbox brand and the decision making and next gen planning. Xbox is going to be bigger next gen. As others have mentioned, its what MS is building upon for next gen. If you think Sony is just going to walk out the gate with PS2 or PS4 numbers expecting no competition from Xbox or Nintendo than you need to take the glasses for a min and look around you.

Next gen is looking more like Gen 7 if the competition remains heavily competitive with no slip ups. "

Yes certainly PS5 will do like PS3 and XSX will do like X360, that rise that is already certain even before consoles are unveiled.

Not to forget the claim that X1S was part of making the market competitive, even thought it didn't spring Xbox sales up or PS sales down. Or Switch that basically even selling great didn't affect the sales of PS or Xbox.

Sorry for considering analysis from him to be completely wrong almost 100% of cases.
