Next gen PS5/XB1SX sales ratio will look the same as this gen's. Huge changes in console marketshare require huge changes in the industry.

That doesn't address the second part of the point, on why he believe MS was unable to do anything in the whole gen for the small and short timed problem they had on the start of this gen.

Also if you ask him he will say that MS was winning the last gen the whole time and other stuff such as launch alignment doesn't matter, that PS3 winning all the years of sale except one also doesn't matter, etc.

Those are things for him to answer. I don't think you need to hear anything more from me here, other than me acknowledging that he is biased.

We have to remember that around this time last gen the Xbox fans here in the forum liked the console and strategy. I do also remember that fabulous "the smart 13 vs 41 countries" or something like that thread. Besides of course "globally in USA".

The Xbox camp was split at the time. There was the group that went along with Microsoft, but also a sizeable group that didn't like Microsoft's decisions. "13 vs. 41 countries" in a positive light probably originated from the user Jega who made a bunch of troll threads while "globally in the USA" was definitely from the Sony fanboy who impersonated a deluded Xbox fanboy; his name escapes me, but the point is that he was the opposite of an Xbox fan.

Nope, the user was Selnor and he truly believed that, he left the general forum when PS4 started to pull ahead WW.

I don't have the split numbers, but could be something like right now we have a lot of PS fans disappointed with the less power and the lack of information saying PS5 will lose to XSX, but from my counts that is a small number of PS fans. Do you have any memory of how much of the Xbox userbase was pissed with the MS direction start of this gen?

I agree with you that even with all the mistakes Sony done in PS3 gen and the recovery done in total numbers they weren't ever that far from Xbox (although the drop from PS2 was staggering).
