I agree there’s no competition here. Xbox One was a huge disappointment and PS4 consistently delivered the goods. But I would challenge your second point. I think Xbox 360 eclipses PS3. Sony stumbled out of the gate that gen, and Microsoft was firing on all cylinders from 2005-2010. The Xbox brand has been in a downward spiral since then, but I think it did enough during those days to top PlayStation. |
I disagree.
Even as the 360 had most of the good games that gen, it was pretty clear to me the PS3 had by far the ones I wanted to play the most.
I literally choose the PS3 despite not having money to buy original games when I would need that on the PS3 but could get dozens of pirated games for the 360 for nearly free like it was common back in the PS1 and PS2 days.
I actually played quite a bit of the 360 before I even had seem a PS3, some friends and people I knew tried to push me to get one for the most varied reasons, heck I got to know reviews aggregate sites like Game Rankins because a friend was trying to get me to enjoy Halo 3 when it was the game I wanted to play the least by far when going there in his family house.
The 360 controller triggers were very good tho.
Yet it only took seeing God of War 3 once to make me completely sure what I would be getting.
When it comes to picking a single system to play all the games that attracted me, Playstation always has been by far the best choice, even on PS3 era. To the point that not having a Xbox makes actual no difference whatsoever.
I literally would not trade a single one of games like God of War 3, Disgaea 3 or 4, Demon's Souls, The Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid 4, Persona 5 or Gran Turismo 6 for the combination of all games on the 360 that were not on the PS3.
Lost Odyssey is the literal only game I wanted to try that I could not on the PS3.
I can only speak for myself for it is what I like, but there is not even a slight of doubt to me that between picking any Playstation or any Xbox it has always been completely one sided, it's so vastly in favor of Playstation that it's as if Xbox is literally irrelevant while Playstation exists. It really just doesn't matter.
Which doesn't mean Xbox is bad and people can't like it, as I said most of the good games are there too, and sometimes better versions of those games, like in the 360 days, it is good by itself so it can and will be enjoyed for that, it just don't pale well when Playstation is there.
