Cant debate with someone ignoring fact like sales overtook after the next generation came out + Microsoft stopped counting console sales in fav for subscriptions.

Simple Fact is: We cant say if its true or not as neither of us have the actual figures we can speculate sure as much as we want, we wont ever know who is right or who is wrong cause the real figures is unknown.

Who knows I might be wrong and not a single person (Bar me) ever bought a second PS3 after the PS4 came out. I dont know, and neither do you.

Oh gawd. It's fact. MS stopped counting because they were smashed.

MS fanboy:

PS3 didn't win sales, we stopped counting

PS4 only won because we stuffed up.

You see this is where you mistaken. I don't own a PlayStation and I'm no fanboy of anything. I have a life and don't game the whole day.
My kids on the other hand have PlayStations. Why? Because when a new game ( Fortnite) comes and all their friends play it. they can play it on their PS and I don't have to buy them a monthly subscription just to play a "free" game like on Xbox. Yes my kids also have a life and they don't game the whole day, they have about 5 games they play, so no need to have access to 5k games from 20 years back because that's all they do the whole day.
And then the newest hype game comes out and everyone play Fall guys, then my kids play it with all their friends. OH except their friends whose dads decided to buy them an Xbox.

Don't you need PSN Plus for Fall Guys?

^ This argument I can understand and also agree with

Totally agree on both the Xbox life in order to play is a dick move as well as exclusives being crap for gamer esp if you make an uneducated purchase.

No you dont, and that an odd one as original Xbox also did not need sub services. PlayStation aka Sony is the one that introduced the multiplayer service to the world.

Just for Clarification on my Previous post as I know some one will misuse it.

Xbox Life was a free service that started waay back in 2002.
PlayStation came out with PlayStation Plus in 2007 that was a paid for service
Microsoft followed in 2008 by introducing a Xbox Live (Free) and Xbox live Gold(Paid) service to compete with the free games PlayStation used to get people to subscribe.
I think in 2010/11? or around there Xbox merged the Silver and Gold into a single service.

I wonder if XBox is going to drop Live Gold. Isn't Halo Infinite going to have free multiplayer even without Gold? If I remember correctly they said that earlier in the year.

Well they already giving you a 1 Month GP Ultimate for 1 Month Gold if you "upgrade" (That is how I got 36 months of Ultimate for R1938.00)

So you might be onto something....

Now we talking like adults :) none of the kickboxing stuff xboxsuxbegtime YOLO playstation 4 life 4 ever crap :)

My brother has 2 x PS 4's for his kids, I'm sure a lot of people find it much more popular with the younger generation and ease of access when you turn the PS into a familia style console.

However over the years I found my Xbox more single person orientated and struggled to turn it into the family machine.

Personal preference is really key and how each console would fit into ones personal life, and that's where I think Sony has been leaps ahead of MS, but MS are starting to catch a wake up now :)

Talking about Fortnight

I wonder how its going to affect Xbox/PS Game stores if Epic wins as I am sure they also taking a cut in sales?
I know Steam is
I hate having to fork out $$ in Steam for silver in Destiny so I can buy every new expansion/season. Suspect Console are the same?
