...politics. Yup, that's right. Politics.
I'd like to posit that differences in opinions between the PS4 and the Xbox One leads back to fundamental political and ideological differences. What is the debate about the console manufacturer controlling used game sales but a difference in opinions on big and small "government"?
There's people who buy used games and people who don't. Within that second one, there's people who care about those who buy used games and those who don't give a shit because it's not them. Welfare, anyone? That's not to suggest the buying used games and being on welfare are the same thing, just that the ideologies towards them are analogous.
Who's more worried about the Kinect spying on them? Liberals or Conservatives? Republicans or Democrats?
Who's the new company trying a bunch of new things? Sony. Who's the company who thinks they can do what they want and still get "elected" by the customers, but are now realizing it's not working and adopting some of the new things? Microsoft.
Who cares more about "small businesses" (indies)? Sony. Who doesn't give a shit because they just want the big, corporate, AAA games? Microsoft.
Thoughts? Opinions? Criticisms? Insults?

That's hilarious. Mind you, price is still huge for me. But right now, I still want the more expensive one.
