Well i don't agree with his view, but he's not hurting anyone with wishful thinking.

Like I said I'm not suggesting anything. This thread is fine, but he needs to know where the line is.

I'm positive that toasty won't get himself perma'd THAT easily!

This guy gets it. Why cant everyone else? God bless you good sir!

I don't know, toss up isn't it? WW 1/3 chance it's an xbox friend, 2/3 it's PS4,  in the US it's 50/50. Xbox has Halo over PS4 like PS4 has Uncharted over Xbox. What are you even going on about?

Looking from it from an unbiased POV the only thing PS4 has over XB1 is the slight power advantage. That doesn't automatically mean everyone will get a PS4 because of that advantage, because if they have friends on Xbox One, if they want to stay in the Xbox eco system, like the exclusives, like the System OS ect, that is all far more sway worthy than PS4 being a bit more powerful.

I swear I just typed all of this out, please don't make me have to do it again.

Your point was that it is purly your opinion that it does not do a lot of things better. An opinion that stems from very little bases. The opinion that they infact do do all those things better actually does have bases according to studies of peoples opinion and general game scores as well as quantity and quality of released games. The fact that it does games better is just as much a fact as their hardware is better. They opened the doors for indie devs, they listened to and designed the console based on input directly from the big AAA devs. Their games have a better score, people want them more and there are more of them. At some point you have to realize that when a 2:1 majority of gamers on the planet have the same opinion based on personal experiance then it's clear one opinion holds more weight and is based on fact and the other isn't.

I lost track mid-message as well. That's why I had the question at the end. 

August has not stabilized, it was all over the place as we've seen two week hovering around 59k, then a week above 65k and a mid 50k week. I wouldn't call that barely pipping 50k either. September, historically  is when console sales begin to pick up again from mid summers #'s (I can see a drop to low 50's week ending August 30th before picking back up week ending September 7th) . The only reason last years sales in August were close to September was due to the announced price drop of the Wii U in September (sub 20k weeks) for that month and Pikmin 3 in August. 

With Hyrule Warriors, Disney Infinity 2.0, SM3DW deluxe bundle, MK8 deluxe bundle and the current momentum I believe my numbers will not be far off from being more accurate than a low 50k weekly month for September. 

One little correction here, it is by no means 50/50 in the US. Using VGC numbers it is more like 44/56 in the PS4s favor. That's a solid and growing margin.

Of course there are reasons for someone to buy the Xbox One over the PS4, but that ever growing gap is going to make it harder and harder down the road.

So seece actually tryed to negate a coment based on opinon with his opinion? Sure cuz his word is better then the majority.

@sceece: What your saying that people who where already planing to get the console are going to buy it anyways. I agree with that, thats why we call them fans. But that number of gamers is actually a lot smaller then the grand total and is reflected in the sales. Most people are on the fence cuz they dont care about what you mentione, they care about the games and will play them on the best console with the biggest comunity in case they like multyplayer.
