I'm disappointed in Gamers

Since when have games been about 1080p and 60fps? Everyone and their brothers keep yapping about why CoD: Ghosts will be soooo much better on the PS4 over the Xbox One because on the PS4 has more pixels and looks slightly prettier. Let's face it, CoD is going to suck no matter how many pixels you shove into it. Why? It is a bad game. Same argument is brewing for Battlefield 4. You know what? I've seen it on the Xbox One, it looks beautiful, I haven't seen it on the PS4, but I'm sure it is beautiful as well. Doesn't matter either way, it will still be a great game. If the pixels and framerate matter so much to you, why not get a PC and max that bitch out? At least then you'd be playing in SUPER MEGA ULTRA HD with more frames than a dirty cop, and I wouldn't have to see your hatred flow into the forums. I've not made it a secret that I will be getting an Xbox One and that I will also be getting a PS4 at some point. The Xbox One is coming first for a few reasons. [spoiler]1.) Loyalty - The 360 was my first step into online gaming. I made friends, fed trolls, ate from the troll trough, and raged along with the rest of them. I have lots of memories on my Xbox and enjoy the simplicity of the network (unless I have to open that goddamned NAT). 2.) Innovation - Let's face it, the Xbox One is doing more to advance consoles than the PS4. Sure it may have some powerful hardware, but what are people going to do when that wears off? Consoles outdate themselves pretty damn quick, so focusing on that is not the way to maintain userbase. Look at the Wii. That console had shit graphics, but is one of the most popular consoles to ever launch. Is the Xbox One as innovative at the Wii? Hell no, but in comparison to the PS4, it may as well be. Sony made a mistake not bundling the Eye, they've held themselves back. Some of you may scoff at the idea, but time will show that once people bitch about how much of a waste it was to buy the new Playstation eye. 3.) All in One - My PS3 serves as my hub for everything but gaming for the most part. I still watch Netflix and Hulu on my xbox, and I do play the occasional title on my PS3, but it is a great device to have in the living room because it can play blu rays, and it does it really well. The Xbox One is going to due everything my PS3 does, plus add an HDMI in so I can hook my TV into my gaming experience. I won't have to switch inputs ever again, plus I can seamless swap between watching tv and playing games during commercials (gotta love dat SNAP). 4.) Honesty - I won't disagree that Microsoft has been and continues to seem like a shady mofo, that is what every corporation ends up looking like once they get big enough (yes, this includes Sony). But dammit, for better or for worse, they have been pretty honest with the consumers and have had enough humility to change their policies once the (misguided) masses started an outcry. Was it a step backwards for one of the greatest devices made so far? Yes, but it was necessary to calm the paranoid, self righteous, hypocritical, over entitled brats that make the loudest portion of the gaming culture today. (I hate piracy, and believe in protecting content makers rights as much as possible). Nevertheless, Microsoft has been pretty good about being straight up with people, and I respect them for that.[/spoiler] Hopefully, those of you who read this will understand that I hope gaming will become more about the experience you have than the amount of polygons and particle effects that litter your screen. Lately I've played some older games or games that mimic older titles and have gotten more enjoyment from those than from the current gen of games stacked on my shelf. I'm hoping the glitz and glamour faze will die out, because I want gaming to be fun again. I want innovation, story telling, emotion. Destiny should be the first step in that direction for the next generation...I hope it won't be the last.

    This is the most ignorant post I've read in ages. And to top it off, you list the number reason you are getting an Xbox One is brand loyalty. You brand loyalty fukkers are literally the cancer killing gaming.
