It doesnt matter which console wins, enjoy the games they provide

I've always leaned more towards PlayStation, however I have owned an Xbox each cycle eventually, although I probably wont this time around due to MS's PC support. This leads me on to my point, with MS not trumping Sony's dominance last gen, or going in to this gen. Do you think we would have seen programs such as Enhanced Backwards Compatibility, Smart Delivery or the big one GamePass? I don't think we would, and I feel that Xbox's platform centric approach rather than banking purely on hardware and games is the correct way to go, and should it really take off I don't think Sony could compete in their current state, yes they have a few games on PC, but that isn't enough at this time. Again, this is if Xbox was to take off. I think Sony really need to react, especially when it comes to GamePass.

I don't think there is a "correct way to go" in either case They each have their own strategy. Right now, from what have seen this generation both companies are striving to make the best games their studios can make. The real difference here is how they monetize. Considering how the entire gaming industry is struggling to keep up with demand I don't think either strategy to monetize is going to be a problem. Both PS and Xbox are "taking off" in a big way right now.

Agreed.
But I do have this controversial opinion that if games were better we wouldn't even be here on forums like this. I think circumstances around games (drama) has sadly become more interesting than captivating game experiences themselves. Not to say you can't find a few diamonds today, but man do I remember better days; days where it wasn't endless sequels, prequels, reboots, remasters, and remakes. The well is dry.

Just because certain games doesn't come to your preferred platform isn't the end of the world. It's actually better for you. I want as many game developers to succeed as possible because that means more games for everyone on every console.

Who has got time for this many games.
I play one system 3-4 yrs then get next one, brand depends on what I really want to play.
Whichever system I have, I fanboy for that. Or not, depending on the mood.

Clear evidence of metacritic platform favoritism. Same game, different scores for each platform🙃

They hold too much weight these days, which affects people's habbit of buying games.
Its wasn't console thing at all.
We are led to believe higher score games are better. And when you get stats like that, you wonder whether the game is good or not.

You should ask coleeastwood and TimDog about that and there's more on both sides that are too many to list here. Despite what the general gaming community does, there will always be console warriors on either side playing a game of Shill & White Knight for their favourite corporation and plastic box. That won't ever change and I'm not sure it ever will. Console Warriors will always be console warriors.

If all the systems are selling 40 million and over then there shouldn't be any worries of failing or not getting games. After that point there isn't any reasons to really care how much they sell other than fanboy chest thumping crap.
