Reality is what it is not matter how much you want to deny it.

PS4 has been besmirchuing the X1 for many reasons, not just price.  March already proved that.

This is what makes me think they're messing with us lol

Just saying times are a changing and you are still stuck in 2013. Having nothing to back yourself up except "my console sells more globally" is lowering the bar for yourself

You're not gonna be saying that if/when the PS4 presence becomes too great, globally, and the XBone gets left by the wayside. All your friends could have had a OG Xbox (I pick this console because it had a relatively strong presence in America)...but the PS2 selling millions worldwide not only in America, but everywhere else resulted in devs thinking "hrmm, I can put this game on Xbox and sell a few million in America, or I can put it on PS2 and sell a few million in America...and across Europe, and across Asia". And as more and more games went to PS2, PS2 sales increased and conversely less and less games went to Xbox and its sales waned.

You can take the XBone's sales declining and spin it to "oh, so what, I only care about local anyway" (I really don't think this is true. Sounds like damage control to me), but global will affect local some time down the road. What benefit is to make a game for a console knowing the sales of that game will be stymied by virtue of the console it's on only having a real presence in one region? Will the money spent on resources making that version be offset and then some by the potential sales? Or will they forgo it all together and put it on the system that's selling well worldwide and any money from potential sales missed on the XBone are made up for by the lack of making an XBone version in the first place.

This is all speculation, of course, based on if XBone's sales continue to slide. If they spike (and stay there) after they drop Kinect, then completely ignore this post. But either way, "I only care about a local victory" is not the mentality to have, because shareholders don't care about "local victories". They care about how it's doing everywhere. And that will affect what games come or don't come to the console. Which ultimately affects which console all your friends will be playing on.

For the 3rd party multiplat primary gamer (does not gaf about exclusives), whatever console performs the best graphically aka bang for buck, will win their business.  For the last gen, there was a lot who  owned both the PS360 (myself included), but thanks to the mobile market boom this gen might shrink back to PS2 era level sales (maybe worse) so people will make a choice this time around.  I know for myself, I won't buy a PS4 or XB1 until after E3.  Right now PS4 is winning me over by default due to the power advantage.  Its just an uphill fight for MS...

Even Mummel believes that John Lucas= Doctre81, so who knows!

Oh fair points.

So, you do care.

Reality backs me up, not the hopes and dreams you are rolling with.

What proof do you have that times are changing, PS4 is killing the X1 in sales week after week after month.  Dont tell me you buy into the bs MS says, every month its a new message they are trying to fool people into buying they box with.  Its just desperate pr flip flopping.

Im posting on a gaming forum, offcourse I care.
