Because clearly you’re assuming I’m making assumptions. I’m going by the actual specs of both consoles now that Microsoft has finally “released” concrete figures at Hot Chips 25. If you want to buy an Xbox One, go ahead. Just know what you’re getting rather than accepting all of the self-serving PR that Microsoft executives have been campaigning on for the past few weeks. The very day Sony announced the PS4, they handed the media a specs sheet on the console and provided an indepth tour of the architecture. It was four months after the Xbox One’s announcement that the specs became known. They were not released, but rather leaked after being presented at a technical conference, and Microsoft has been doing damage control literally every day since.

The only assumption I’m prepared to make at this point is that Microsoft’s defensiveness is caused by their genuine concern that people might understand the substantial difference between their hardware and that of their competitor.

Because clearly your assumptions of it being so far behind are facts. How’s about we give till the very least after Christmas before spouting off about how far behind one or the other is. Both will sell boatloads, “Deal with it”

The PS4 was announced nearly 2 months prior to the X1. And if you refuse to recognize that the X1 is gaining ground, then you’re just in denial.

The Xbox One gaming division is still being mocked by the silent majority, not just by Sony fanboys. We still get news like “FIFA 14 free only for Day 1 editions in select EU countries”, when at the Gamescom conference, Phil Harrison stated that all Xbox One’s in EU would get it.
As far as gaining ground, currently projections show that the PS4 has 600k preorders in the US and the Xbox One has 350k preorders in the US. I’m not exactly sure that the Xbox One is doing so well.

Look a this. Someone who mistakes facts for jokes and attempts to denigrate people using the word fanboy. How droll.

Hiyyoooooooooo! Look at this PS fanboy making jokes, how cute

Actually, it’s only 2 ; the third is a mediator. 😮

I agree – 3 brain cells, all fighting each other.
