Yeah... But Sony is still crushing Microsoft in total console sales. Those numbers are misleading.
The King has returned in the form of the Playstation 4. It's going to be very hard for Xbox to usurp it - even going into a new generation.
LOL

Doesn't change the fact that the X1X is the best console to buy. MS have done well.Yeah... But Sony is still crushing Microsoft in total console sales. Those numbers are misleading.

Okay, though can you be sure about that? :)
The market is not zero sum. It's business, not sports. A particular product can be a massive success and not lead the market.
I can handle. I'm saying that is positive things to be said about both and not only Xbox.
And I think who can't handle that is not me.

It's not surprising or really wrong comparisons are being made to other consoles. Sony, MS, and Nintendo are all competing with each other for sales. So when people hear "XB1 is up 100000% YOY" or "1X is selling extremely well" It makes you wonder how well is it really doing since it's always coming in 3rd in NPD. Especially in regards to 1X sales since that would contribute to even less of overall sales of XB1.
In any competitive market with multiple products questions like that will always come up.
Unless you're willing to give us a breakdown of unit sales. :)
You're in an Xbox thread, talking specifically about Xbox One X and not Xbox One, saying it is "wierd" we don't have articles or tweets about the "phenomenal year 5 Playstation is having" (when there are TONS, and I'm not going to continue with your derail of the topic by posting them).
For extra points you're trying to downplay the OP by talking about Microsoft coming off their worst year, as if that has any real credance to why a $500 mid-gen system is defying expectations.
Do you seriously not see yourself right now?
You remember the part when I said certain people seem unable to handle positive Xbox shit? Lo and behold, look at the post right above your last recent post:
It's like someone got lost on the way to N4G and forgot he was on Era. Sony is not paying you, brother. What are you even gaining out of this? Everything about this fanboy-riddled post is sad, especially in relation to the OP.
It seems more exaggerated in consoles though. In a lot of other markets you just consider the context. Often the market leader is so far ahead too that even being second when its not even close is still good. Like Pepsi v Coke, Honda v GM, Google v Baidu (or Bing). Even companies like Apple and the fact they don't sell the most phones or computers they just happen to make the most money from them.It's not surprising or really wrong comparisons are being made to other consoles.

well deserved. the X compared to the PS4Pro is everything the 2013 PS4 was compared to the 2013 Xbox One. just a better piece of hardware in pretty much every way, MS did a great job on this revision.
the 4k support on some BC titles is just icing on the cake.
What I think it's weird we don't have articles or Twitters about the phenomenal year 5 that PlayStation is having.
Ms is coming from their worst year. It is good they are selling better in US. But what PS4 is idong this year should be noted too.
VR is secondary and not the main reason to own a console IMO but not withstanding, MS has made great strides in VR, MR and AR research and even provides tools for development in that regard so I''m almost certain Scarlett will be VR ready out the box and regarding services, Xbox live, 1P content and hardware It's obvious they got their bases covered. sports titles? Japanese content? The Switch is doing great without the western dev support Xbox and PS get..MS is building and acquiring studios to fill up their exclusive output. and 3P have sports titles covered or do you assume they need baseball to do well next gen? MS is in the process of opening an Asian Xbox publishing division which will cover China, Japan, and South Korea and will actively pursue partnerships with devs in the region... do you think they are doing that for no reason?Okay, though can you be sure about that? :)
All bases is a pretty broad statement to claim. What about VR? What about Japan/Asia exclusives? What about a dedicated sports title? Are those guaranteed? You'd hope so.
Thanks for your take on this topic. It's always great to hear what you have to say regarding these consoles. Glad to see X doing great.PlayStation's great performance is noted every month in the analyst notes with the data release.
The tweet is my take on the One X. Has nothing to do with the PS4. The sales between these two systems are not related.
And you keep making vague references to media or articles. I'm not a journalist.

I agree almost entirely with your post apart from the above. I don't think the "bad press" your speaking of resonates beyond gaming forums. In fact, I'll say with some confidence that the wider market has no clue about the bad press your referencing here. The closest thing to reaching a mass awareness would have been fortnite cross play but PS4 was still the destination platform for that game in the height of the negative articles and have sustained that position without a hiccup.
Bad press that reaches the mainstream and in turn has an effect, would be something like Battlefront's loot box fiasco and the resulting drop, to the tune of millions, in game sales. And more notably a loss of confidence gamers have in their products that continues through to this day.
I think you should see yourself. I didnt`t downplay anyone. I didn`t disrail anything. I said is really great but I want see articles from both.
You sounds like a really angry fanboy, trying to create a narrative against me, because you can`t see me asking about articles measuring about PS4 too? grow up!
The guy you quoted look like a real fanboy but your answer too me looks like a fanboy too. Because I`m not downplaying XboxONE X I think it is a great console and It is really good that sales are doing great.
I`m always saying that I think $500 is the sweet spot for consoles if we want something with great specs and MS did right.

Always happens, but mods are doing a better job of suppressing them. I just don't understand why it's so difficult for certain people to bypass positive MS topics when the only interest they have is posting a negative MS comment while posting something positive about PS. Makes no sense to me.
I think you need to chill out a bit. You are a really angry fanboy trying to create a narrative that sustain your imagination.What the hell are you talking about? Stop trying to deflect away from yourself; there is nothing "angry" or "fanboy" about my posts. How am I trying to create a narrative when I am simply quoting you on your derailment, asking about lack of news articles regarding PS4 sales... in an Xbox One X topic? Hell, Matt even took the time out to respond to your bullshit, something I'm surprised he took the effort to do. Of course you don't respond to him, though.
The guy I quoted that was banned was an example of my post, when I said "some of you." Ironically he posted right above you. The defensiveness and random deflection of your own fanboyism is quite telling.
Exactly. Thank you, Mat. Sorry you need to deal with shit like this here. Just know the vast majority of us appreciates your analysis and insight.
Makes no sense to me, neither. Some of these people are going to really go crazy come next gen.

I completely agree with the cross play thing, that was huge and caused Sony to back track (thankfully) on it. Hopefully this bodes well for next gen. I think it always starts with forums etc and can slowly edge out into the mainstream. No idea of really knowing until next gen.
I think you are pretty much right though, it's just the vibe I get due to being on forums so much.
I think you need to chill out a bit. You are a really angry fanboy trying to create a narrative that sustain your imagination.
You tried to create a new context about what I write and are trying to paint me like a fanboy. Nice try.
I will ignore you for my good mental health.
The other guy started that. I said it is really great that Xbox is doing great.To put it gently, the basis of your original posts were off-topic (which was pointed out Mat Piscatella). You've moved from there to name-calling and basically trying to re-litigate that original event. If you did want the info you originally asked for, it was offered in good faith by Piscatella, even though it's apart from this topic.
