Y'all forgot it took FOUR months to get Twitch streaming on XB1 meanwhile PS4 had it from day 1??
Still ain't got screenshots on XB1.
I know some of ya'll stans about to get in ya feelings but feel free to quote me and watch I get at you with #factsonly.
OP dumb as hell acting shocked about a update for taking screenshots when PS4 had it since day one.![]()
As is the XB1.Yea PS4 had this day one and Xbox didnt. But now it does. It shows that the xbox devs are listening to the people and putting in work to get them what they want. PS4 started out strong with a bunch of features, but missing a whole bunch of shyt the ps3 had. and today these features still mising even tho everyone been talkin about it they dont give a fukk they havent added much from launch day but xbox on the other hand is like a whole new system

As is the XB1.
Where's the background MP3 playback?? Where's the copying of files from the PC to the 360?? Where's the screenshot feature?? Why is the party chat feature garbage?? etc.
The PS4 updates as I posted are huge when they do come out hence why the smaller updates in between usually being stability patches. And what do you mean they not listening??
April's update for example:
You mean to tell me NONE of this was stuff people asked for??
Nikkas just like to complain to complain. fukking entitled ass gamers.
I'm starting to think some of you nikkas just like to pretend to be outraged just because it's the hip thing to do nowadays. Non DLC, non preordering ass nikkas.
when an update comes out, it's allbut as soon as an update comes out on Xbox, nikkas acting like there wasn't just a big update on the PS4. A new game would come out on PS4 but as soon as a fukking controller update comes out it's all "
Sony don't be doing nothing!!"
Either way, ain't nan perfect on the green side.

Feeling hurt?this clown stay posting titangraph all salty and shyt whenever the xbox get praise
that's because it's getting thrashed in sales, games and popularity everywhere.@Fatboi1 those are the "facts" you said you were gonna respond with
no one said the xbox was perfect. but its clear as day microsoft is showing extremely strong support and listening to the gamers. yea sony did add sum shyt in that we asked for, but we got a total of 3 updates that actually made a difference. thats it THREE. the support is better on the green side and thats jsut facts you cant argue with that. the ps3 used to get updates every fukking month.. sony needs to step their shyt up.their it team doesnt do shyt but watch pornhub all day and their ps4 devs prolly been sniffing lines of coke off a pawgs ass since our last update in fukking october. its february now. 4 months since we got an update
this clown stay posting titangraph all salty and shyt whenever the xbox get praise
