Which Xbox one features have I once praised? That I don't think matter now?, Bare in mind I own a Xbox one, and use BC.
I don't think it's a big deal not have on the ps4 as I personally still have a PS3 plugged in but if that's something thats important to you should be buying a Xbox.
My only issue with your op was claiming the difference in exclusives is just a matter of preference. anything you infer from that was on you. I own both systems and they both have their merits and drawbacks.
How much more simple to I have to put it?
Sony stans praised PS4 for having better graphics
Sony stans praised PS4 for having better performance
Sony stans praised Sony for have Backwards Compatibility on PS2 and PS3.
Sony stans praised Sony for have a Blu Ray drive in PS3. They even used it as a justification for the $600 launch price
NONE. LITERALLY NONE of these features matter to Sony stans anymore, and they all claim it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the fact that Sony decided to strip all of these features from their FLAGSHIP console or has simply fallen behind.
THAT is the point of the OP. These issues/features don't matter to Sony stans anymore because they have to rationalize their purchases and brand loyalty.
What I'm saying is, the REAL argument/debate is in the actual quality of games, which at the end of the day, is 100% subjective.
How none of you can grasp this is beyond my comprehension.
