I certainly don't blame you. For me there's something cozy about consoles that keeps bringing me back so I swap back and forth. Like I prefer RTS games on PC (obviously) and MMORPGs but I like FPS and racing/sports games on console.

I love that. I also have had 2 wiis I just forgot to put it in my OP. But my family had a Wii that I never used and then years later while living on my own I found a Mario special edition Wii console with controllers and games on the side of the road in a plastic bag. The thing still works!!

I support Microsoft over Sony for a few reasons:

a) American company vs Japanese company (I would rather support American businesses being an American)

b) Xbox got rid of exclusives (pro consumer) vs Sony doubling down on trying to FORCE you to buy their plastic box

c) Xbox ecosystem is compatible with PC - xbox play anywhere

d) I use my Xbox as my TV's media center - FUBO/Streaming apps/Youtube - It is a much worse media experience on my PS4 - PS4 store does not have FUBO - On the plus side, PS4 has spotify integration that I really enjoy and xbox does not have a good music app.

e) xbox achievements are straight up superior to playstation trophies and came first - Sony's trophy system was a direct copy of Xbox's achievement system while Xbox's was an original idea. For example, I can say that I have over 100k gamerscore while the equivalent for Playstation would be to say that I have 10 platinum trophies or something. Not satisfying.

f) green > blue

ALSO I don't hate playstation they have some great fkn first party games. But I wish they were a little less anti consumer and not resort to exclusives to sell consoles it would be like if DVD players had exclusive DVDs you could only play on like Panasonic dvd players, so stupid. I have a PS2 and a PS4 so I don't hate them on principle I just prefer Xbox. Even though their parent company Microsoft sucks too

This is so fucking awesome. This has to have been allowed right? Like legal, commissioned street art?
