YOu are not equating the power of friends and friends lists, UT. Yeah we all know PS4 is the better console and all that. But its the friends lists which detirmine what consoles, especially kids want.
I got the PS4 for my kids and thats what they wanted, (greatly in part of me telling them that it was way better) but now they are all bummed because most of their close xbros got the xbone for xmas. They now feel like lepers. Yeah they got the better console but now they are regretting it because all their buddies continue to be xbros.
I told them the sensible thing, make new friends, right? Well most of these xbros were buddies for years now, playing all sorts of games together. Sometimes even buying games just to play together. I too thought that this was all bullshit, but its true, kids and xbros do care about friends lists and its not easily overcome. That type of bond is hard to break. Shit both of them played the shit out of the xbox 360 over the holidays instead of the ps4.
Now im probably going to have to buy them an xbone as well, maybe in the summer when its my younger sons birthday.
