Microsoft had been criticized for its ‘anti-consumer’ policies with the Xbox One.

I love how 'anti-consumer' is in quotes, to suggest they were merely so-called 'anti-consumer' polices. Sorry, they were straight up anti-consumer, no cutesy air quotes about it.

Realistically, all experts only look at the U.S. as the ground for success since it's the most important area of the world so the article is in fact correct because Xbox One and PS4 are neck to neck.

This.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

huh? On what planet? Being outsold in every territory nearly every single week and being outsold massively worldwide, and not the underdog? I want what you're smoking (;

That's sort of the thing though.  Sony merely needed to cut into microsoft's lead in the US from the previous console generation, that they are in fact on top in xb1's strongest region puts them well ahead in the game.

Underdog...worldwide

In the US it's a lot closer but they're still the underdog. Whoever wrote this piece obviously did it for traffic.

If we're talking only in the US then I would question at what time the Xbox One was the underdog in US sales.  Don't believe the PS4 has ever really swamped the Xbox One and beaten it in sales in the US any more so than they are currently.  So when was the transition from "underdog" to "not"?

 

Based on this, I have to assume the writer is thinking in global terms, but not in sales terms.
