Oh dear oh dear, people still battling on about this rubbish? I’ll tell some home truths..
Sony, I got a launch PS4 that was dead out the box, great quality control there, replacement was alright but I had to wait for it... however of course it sounds like a jet fighter on take off when in use, a fault that Sony fixed after a year of launch.. yeah that’s nice they didn’t design it properly in the first place.
Exclusives, well theirs only one and that’s The Last Of Us, I played the others and they are pretty meh, even Uncharted wasn’t as good as the second one.
They offer INCREDIBLY poor value for money, the console costs more, didn’t have decent WiFi till the slim model, and the ‘free’ games on PSN, which is now more expensive then Xbox Gold, are an utter joke, they went from great games on the PS3 to endless cheap indie titles.
And as for AAA exclusives, well Sony and Polygon have managed to royally screw up Gran Turismo.. now being an online ONLY exclusive test to see if your worthy of some racing license.. that’s peed my brother in law off no end, a massive GT fan ONLY because of the in depth campaign mode, he has zero interest in the new one.
Yeah that’s one mess of a game, but maybe, just maybe, in five years they’ll release the single player game?
Meanwhile Xbox has had several Forza interations all fantastic, also on Xbox you get INCREDIBLE value for money, great free games for Xbox Gold, which is still a better service then PSN, and you get endless sales too, unlike Sony which only offer special events.
Plus with the Xbone you’ve had decent WiFi since day one, the new S plays 4K BlueRays, and the Xbox X is expensive, but it is also much more powerful then the PS4 Pro.
But defenders will still defend Sony, I never use my PS4, only reason I still have it is for Last Of Us 2 and my nephew when he comes round. The majority of Sonys profits now come from the PlayStation, they had a cracking start, could of really killed it, and instead just price gouge you compared to the competition.
They had the more powerful machine he and wasted it, in some cross platform games the PS4 offers slightly better graphics, but that’s it.
Nintendo also beat Sony, in innovation, the Switch is a clever and interesting and different device, it also beats any tablet or smartphone as you won’t get Mario Kart on those..
Sony hasn’t won every month in sales figures either, most of them head but this year Microsoft have beaten them a couple of times.
You can ‘claim’ Sony won if you want, but that’s to ignore what you’ve lost in the process.
At the end of the day, no one cares, just play what you want, but I would suggest finding something more interesting to do in life then moan about when ch ‘console has won the wars’... because really, no one cares.

The PS4 won by being an average console in a race with two other consoles that faceplanted at the start. The WiiU and XB1 were flawed, poorly advertised and had no good games at the start. Nintendo tried to rectify this but the damage was already done.
1x average beats 2x terrible any day of the week.
The Switch though is arguably doing better than the PS4 did 6 months in. However the PS4 and Switch are competitiors but in different races. So it's hard to compare them.

That's if you still believe console generations are a thing. The Switch and PS4 Pro/XB1X go a long way to say console generations are not really as much of a thing as they used to be.
Haha so I presume you consider the PS4 to be such a master system that the Switch doesn’t compare? Even though the Switch is in fact a home games console that plays games in the TV as well as going mobile, or was it damage limitation on your part to suggest the two are ‘competitors in different races’?
