You could just as easily say it'd be wonderful if PS4 started to deliver multiplayer experiences next gen too.
The difference between Playstation and Xbox gamers is the following morning at work
Playstation gamers say, "where are you in God of War/Persona 5? That was amazing!" and Xbox gamers say, "that was fun playing PubG/SoT last night, what are we playing tonight?"
And the Nintendo guys aren't talking, they're in the lounge playing their Switches
I just don't understand the bolded dichotomy. This feels false to me.
Most of the folks on my PS4 friends list play online-multiplayer. Most of my co-workers play online-multiplayer. And most of my co-workers own PS4, not X1. The big stuff like Destiny, Fortnight, Monster Hunter, Overwatch, Titanfall 2, CoD, SW: Battlefront, Battlefield, Warframe, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls Online, etc still seems to get played on the PS4. If youre into fighting games then the PS4 is what most people play, too: most recenttly, a lot of co-workers got into DBFZ. Guess which system they all have it for?
Isn't an argument in favor for X1X that "all the good games are multiplatform anyway, and X1X is the best place to play multiplatform games"? Certainly there are a handful of multiplayer games on X1 that aren't available for PS4, but to paint this very split-down-the-middle narrative of PS4 being "the single-player console" and X1 being "the multiplayer console" is simply not something I've seen take place in the real world, or in any online community that I'm aware of. PS4 versions of multiplats usually outsell the X1 version by a substantial amount, too, so it would figure that multiplayer is also taking place on PS4 more.
Do you perhaps have more evidence -- sales, articles, etc -- to back up what you're saying? Otherwise, this idea just doesn't jive with reality.
