If you’re too lazy to follow quote trees and apply reading comprehension, I cannot help you friend :)

You think so?

I think I have been following this closely  this is where this started  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8682966 

ps: xbox has gotten lazzy

xbox: replywith a meager list of eclusives over a 4 year period

ps: switch beat it in one year

xbox: I meant quality not quality

ps: ps4 has more quantity and quality than xbox, and switch is matching it.

xbox: always with the list war, xbox is the best.

ps: link provided with number of games released last year, ps4 20 exclusives above 75, xbox 1 

You: get on topic.

me: he was on topic

you: learn to read.

How was that? Obviously paraphrasing before you say you will dismiss everything cuz its not 100% accurate or some nonsense like that. I have seen how you and others like to grasp at little things that make no sense, call others fans and bias and pretty much offer nothing more that your preference into a discussion. Also like to live in a fantasy world where everything is all honky dory and xbox needs to do nothing but ride the third party gravy train. 

But its alright, I believe it was permalight that said, that it doesn't matter if you take a hint or even consider any flaws in your arguments. Its almost impossible for you to change your stance. Others who might be on the fence, read this and probably don't even post will see it and it might help them. 

This was the quote i responded to: "Yea, a pity how a platform holder can be relatively successful without providing quality content"

I gave examples of quality content i.e, yes the Xbox One has quality content. I have never stated that Xbox is the best console out there or has the most exclusives or that you are wrong if you feel that Playstation or Switch are better console, since that is not the topic of this thread and is also a very much subjective opinion. You wanted to discuss the number of games released, which is also not the topic of this thread or the post I quoted. Since you do not wish to discuss the quote I made, there is no more reason to discuss with you.

Yea, its in the link I provided. its all in the summary I made. Plus I have no idea who said what, thats why I put xbox and ps. My only input in all that was saying the guy with the metacritic link was on point at the end. 

While yes, you did not say that xbox had not quality content, the guy responding with how little it had is still relevant to the conversation.

i.e.  A: that company you work for dosent pay.

B: I get payed $3 and hour.

A: but the minimun wage is $7

B: I dint say it payed much.

C: Here is a list on companys that do the same and yours pays the least.

D: stay on topic please.

Some jerk E: But he was on topic.blah.blah.blah........ then proceeds to make obnoxious summaries and examples without remembering who said what

Not to mention the games you listed, MS had a hand in directly. Same with the Nintendo games he listed. But the Sony list is full of stuff like VR versions of already existing games and third party stuff like Hellblade, Persona, and Nier. Like you said, pissing contest nonsense lol.

Its also fucking hilarious to read how Microsoft is to blame for “reducing competition to a hardware arms race” when the Pro beat the Scorpio to market by a year, not to mention the extreme hyperbole we saw at launch of this gen regarding the PS4 power over Xbone.

Sony have ever talked about how much stronger they were than MS? All I can remember is MS PR saying no way in hell PS4 was 30% stronger than X1. So the guilty on HW power race for this gen falls on MS.

1080/60 FPS is for the gamers. It was their commercial. First year of this gen we had thread after thread about how game X is 1080/60 on PS4 but hey that is pretty normal. It is the same like a console does well 'it only succeeds because of the casuals or because it is a hybrid =p'.

2017 will be the Xbox Ones peaks year. I expect 2018s sales to be higher than 2017 so the X did good for the Xbox One in boosting sales.



konnichiwa on 07 January 2018

I have mentioned it a few times before but I am pretty sure Xbox one hardware sold more than all of their 2017 exclusives =p

Wish I could say im shocked that such simple logic  is twisting people up. Guy literally said MS doesn’t provide quality content, you proved him wrong listing quality content, Errorist replies shifting goal posts to quantity versus Sony/Nintendo and further shifts to harp on 2017. 

I hope you’re no longer confused, eva. You’re welcome.

Where does that myth come from that "payed" is in any way connected to sales/money? It shows up in every sales thread...

You dint even bother clicking the link did you? Did you even read any of it? How about the response already made when he replied? You dint did you?

But I will give you points on something, while everything the other guys said is still on topic, going from quality to quantity is just moving the goalpost. Something the green team are no strangers to.

Not reflective of Xbox One though because its a platform with quality content.

People generally dont argue that, instead they argue it has no exclusives due to sharing games with PC.

It's a legitimate concern though considering there are 125 million with 8.9 million concurrent users on steam back in 2015... And steam has continued to grow since then.
https://www.vg247.com/2015/02/24/steam-has-over-125-million-active-users-8-9m-concurrent-peak/

In-fact, Valve made a statement that they were adding roughly 1.5 million users per month.
https://www.polygon.com/2017/8/4/16095394/steam-users-count-2017-gaining-millions-per-month

There are literally hundreds of millions of PC gamers, Microsoft releasing all it's games on PC, means there are hundreds of millions of PC gamers which have zero incentive to buy an Xbox One...
PC does compete with console... And consoles need to appeal to PC gamers, their wallets are equally as valuable.

Of course I clicked the link, how else would I be giggling about how wrong you were? Since you still seem utterly confused even after I broke it down in my last post (in about 1/10th the text it took you to as well, accuracy and efficiency ftw), let me try again. You posted a link to a guy replying to a guy who was replying to a guy, but you didn't go back deep enough.

This is actually where the relevant discussion begins, right here. You have someone saying Microsoft has provided no quality content. Now, notice in Zoom's post it doesn't say "hardly any quality content", it doesn't say "almost no quality content", it doesn't say "without providing quality content in 2017", it says Microsoft has provided zero quality content. So Puppy replies listing some uh, you know, quality content Microsoft has actually provided, proving him wrong.

The post you linked, mistakenly assuming it's where the exchange begins, is actually where the goal posts begin to be shifted, and where the irrelevant pissing contest console warz starts coming into play. What time span it took for those good games to come out, and what Nintendo did in one year, are entirely irrelevant. As is a Metacritic breakdown of 2017.

Please do reply if you're still hung up on any of this, you said you've followed the thread so closely yet are so far off, I really want to make sure you're all caught up buddy.

Also, lol @ green team. This is your brain on console warz.
