The “console war” is just as meaningless as the “smartphone war,” but that won’t stop passionate gamers from berating each other every chance they get. Competition is inevitable, and some aspects of this war are useful. Comparing sales of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, for example, gives investors a good idea of how each company is progressing during the early days of this console generation.
Joe 'Three Sheets' Neate (Executive Producer): "As I’m sure you can imagine, when it comes to Sea of Thieves my days are full of numbers. Development costs, active servers, days until the next update… Sometimes, though, a truly extraordinary number stands out – a number like 40 million, which I’m incredibly pleased to say is the number of pirates who’ve now set sail in Sea of Thieves!"
Garrr... more people to walk the plank and send to Davey Jones locker.
would have been funny to release this on talk like a pirate day.
Epic milestone!
After 6 years and 40 Million players, the people on N4G who called DOA on SoT must be feeling pretty stupid right now.
Especially considering that *right now* Sea of Thieves is leading Playstation Store´s pre-order charts ahead of the freaking Stellar Blade. O.o

Congratulations to everyone at RARE and Team Xbox
Devstream 178 was filled with so many cool announcements for the game's community, and were able to ask a lot of questions about Warframe: 1999 and more!
From The Growing Stones and Valkyrie Interactive comes The Mildew Children on Xbox and PC. Ready for the fairy tales and horror it brings?
Nice article. What gets me so pissed is the fact that some carry the hate over to their personal lives and friendships too. Its crazy. I've never allowed my console preference hinder me from playing/enjoying games on other platforms.I remember borrowing my friends consoles to play some awesome games on other systems.before buying my very own game cube i would borrow my friends own on a number of occasions to play zelda the wind waker, star fox adventures and luigis mansion and my friends would borrow my ps and xbx to play some games they admire too.I always encourage people who can afford multiple consoles to go ahead and buy them. I would never want to miss out on great games like zelda, mario,uc4, tlou2,the last guardian or the order just cos I play more with team xbox. Its fun when you can discuss your favorite games with others out there without being called a traitor or fanboy.
Either way why are we still talking about the "console" war if either way both sides will win and survive like generations before it. The term Console war is so irrelevant is not even funny. So I say let's start the Neutral Gaming Force or NGF for short we stand for the unbiased, non fanboy point of view of gaming, let's bring peace and actual sense back into gamers everywhere so who's with me?

OT: Xbox ONE is fun people, you guys got to understand that
With a title like that you'll spark some discussions. Just my two cents:
"But then, there are other areas where the Xbox One tops Sony’s new console, such as in cloud computing support..."
Well one company did a lot of talking about the cloud and the other is about to launch a cloud gaming service in a few months so...
"... as well as the quality and breadth of game selection in these early days."
What do you mean? There are much more games available on PS4 already (with the gap increasing almost weekly) and every multiplatform game runs better on it so I can't follow your arguments. It's like you're trying to justify your purchase by making up stuff.
To many unnecessary opinion pieces on N4G anymore.
Most important sentence in the article many of you can learn from. I decided to purchase Microsoft’s next-generation console over the PS4 last November, and I’m very happy with my choice — not because the Xbox One is “better” than the PlayStation 4, but because the Xbox One is better than the PlayStation 4 FOR ME. Many people on these gaming sites act like purchasing something other than their console of choice is wrong or stupid.
Look at Zod The Ripper above, some ps4 fans just can't help themselves, it has to be everything positive sony and ps4. You are literally getting mad because he likes the XB1 games. Most unbiased people would admit XB1 currently has better options than ps4. He specifically mentions QUALITY and BREADTH. Simple way to answer this is for you tell me what quality fighting, or racing game you can play on your ps4 that I can't play on my Xb1, the caliber of Killer Instinct and Forza. REREAD THIS QUOTE "There is one truth that will never change, however: the PlayStation 4 will always be better than the Xbox One at some things and worse at others. And vice versa."
XB1 is an awesome console to some, just like ps4 is amazing to some, and Wii U is amazing to some.
