Hate to say it but I'm glad bone is flopping.

[quote user="Throaty Empress"]Zen, you had no problems with the OP's comments but still chose to wrote them off as coming from a Sony fanboy[/quote]

Actually, that wasn't what my intention was, but I do have to apologize for the language I used. When I said "from the perspective of a Playstation fanboy", I was saying it more as the viewpoint of a Devil's Advocate. ie,
if I were a Playstation fanboy, this is what I would think. I wasn't trying to imply that the OP was a fanboy, although looking back on it, I can see how it can be interpreted that way.

We'll I never desired or willed it to flop. To be honest I hate PS controllers. Something so simple, I know. I know I'll still be buying an Xbone just for the simple fact I'll never get used to the placement of the PS controller. I'm just extremely *** that
MS was going after gimmicks, entertainment, basically everything under the blue moon and really left the core gamers on the back burner. It's like they figured if all else fails they'll come running back to us. I hated the mandatory Kinect before it launched.
Now it's not and they are now tapping 10% more from the GPU and demanding devs to push out 1080p 60fps cause basically the kinetic didn't roll over profits like the Wii did so now they got to readjust crap with what they got. If they had put 100% into the
core gamers they'd be the one with 10 million units sold. Regardless Sony doesn't even have a good line up of games out now either but it's going to be discouraging when I we have multiplates always looking better onPS4. Furthermore, with a strong base already
established devs will be making it first for PS4 and we'll be getting ports I figure. And in the future I also see sony getting more exclusives. I should just buy a PC but Ithat neither here or there. And finally I don't wish for them to fail it's just I'm
glad they are cause of the reasons why they are. They showed the core gamers nothing we wanted and now they are trying to fix the problem after their winning numbers didn't come up. Gimmicks and media crap is not what we want. We wanted better hardware and
more focus on games with new IPs. They farted out Titan fall and thought it would be the next call of duty. But whatever, I'm glad cause I hope they finally learned their lesson that chasing the wii dream is not what brought them to where are. And trying to
be the number one media box in all homes is *** cause new tv comes with amazon and Netflix already built in so you don't need a flaking box anymore. We'll in all honestly I hope M$ does bring it back and entice us core gamers. However, Back when 360 launched
M$ excutives claimed the first console to reach 10 million units will end up winning the generation. And sony already did that. All because it was seen as a system for gamers and with a little better hardware. And the whole time every fan on these forums were
saying this is what we wanted but they have stuck in there minds what we really want is everything but a box dedicated towards gaming. We'll the saga will continue

And yet you stayed after Halo 4... Kidding. Mostly. Kind of.

That was kind of my point. I think it was the exaggeration (fairly extreme one, at that) in the original post that made it seem a bit fanboyish. Favoring one side heavily enough to suggest the other is failing when it really isn't. Now, having said that,
I know there are some negatives and I'm not suggesting they're anything but. This is all coming from someone who... isn't really the biggest supporter of Microsoft. I just don't see the need to go to extremes to make the situation look worse than it is either,
and I can see how that leads to one appearing to be a fanboy for the other side.

@ Throaty Empress

I've got no problems with any of the complaints the OP has. They are completely valid. The complaints you have made here are also completely valid. The issue I have is the OP's desire for a company to fail just so his prefered
company can dominate. It doesn't matter whether that company is Microsoft or it's Sony, the same will apply. When a company has a monopoly, we all lose.
