So? The majority of the world favors Beats Headphones, but that doesn't make them the best headphones on the market. Not trying to say the PS4 is bad or anything, but sales doesn't make anyone's opinion less valid.



I don't get it.

Why so defensive? He was just pointing out that what you said about neogaf isn't limited to just neogaf and that according the sales, more people favor the Ps4 at the moment. Who know whys it is? Could be price, could be hardware, could be track record, could be MS being kind of douche. No where did he say that ps4 was better. So much salt.
 
Are you telling me that every damn Blizzard team has done their April Fools joke except the Hearthstone guys? :D
