Poll The Most Insignificant System. (228 votes)
What do you think is the most insignificant system that if it just disappeared (outside from simply supplying competition) would have the littlest impact and would be missed the least?

@lostrib: I appreciate you deleting that last part. It's simply that I don't follow gaming tournaments and generally don't game on my PC.
To give you an idea, my PC can run the Left 4 Dead games and Star Trek Online without too much issue. I downloaded Dota2 as it was free and played it maybe 5 times.
My opinion is based on my needs or experiences.
PC obviously. Have to wait for Rockstar to finish 4 console versions of GTA5 before they put it out on the hermit box.
Power is always so upset about pc for some reason. I think he wants a gaming rig, but can't build one for some reason.
....Well, the Xbox One has more exclusives right now than the PS4...Even though the PS4 will get games later like LittleBigPlanet 3, Bloodborn, Uncharted 4 and whatever else. The majority of games can be played on Xbox One also. (3rd party and indies) The PS4 may be more powerful, but graphic are just graphics. Plus it's not a HUGE difference. What does it bring to the table, gaming wise, that the PS3 didn't? (The same could be said for the Xbox One)
IMO, neither one of them are very significant. I would not say that their insignificant though. Maybe it's good to own one for a few exclusives and some must have 3rd party and indie titles...But that's about it. Everything else the PS3 and 360 can do too.

Thats actually FACTUALLY wrong especially after Dead Rising 3 and soon Ryse being on PC. If you still want to count games on the X1/PC vs PS4 then the PS4/PC games are more then the ones on X1/PC. Thats just misinformation on your part
Lagging behind? It's in 2nd place overall. Is it selling as well as the PS4 no. But the Xbox One is not outpacing it by much. Am I saying it will always be 2nd? No not at all. Is it right now? Yes it is. Does it have by far the best lineup of the 3 next-gen consoles? Yes it does, and it's not really close.
The Xbox One will be out selling it by years end.
Bold statement but I doubt it happens.
It's not bold in fact looking at the sales charts it's the opposite. Even with Mario Kart giving %200 increase it still couldn't top X1 sales. I'm going to be surprised if it doesn't over take the Wii U by years end.

Yeah there's just a tiny flaw in your post, the PC version has been in development since 2012 at least, so the X1/PS4 are PC ports.
That statement is contradicting. Do you know why Rockstar almost always puts things on the PC last or not at all i.e. (red dead) If you think real hard you'll get it.
@dommeus: I covered that in my original post though, lol. I'm no stranger to the tide turning in threads in SW, I've seen this 100x since 2005 with my posts. It doesn't change my post or message though as I prepared for this. I stated this as a huge possibility as well, lol. Posts can alter future posts. There is no surprise if you re-read my post. My initial point remains unaffected.

Correct. The timed exclusives are once again taking affect on the Xbone "exclusive" games. This is no different than what we saw with Xbox and 360. That's not to mention Plants vs. Zombies, Peggle 2, etc.
I don't think posters are actually looking at the games library, because while both machines don't have a lot of games as they are so new (Nov 2013 launched), the PS4 has quite a bit more games over the Xbone (multiplats sure, but more games than the Xbone).
Exclusives are going to rain down once Sony's 1st party focuses on the PS4 over the PS3 which is starting to happen. Playstation 1st party also produces more games than Xbox. Xbox execs prefer to go with timed 3rd party exclusive deals over a huge 1st party output and every generation people forget about that until a few years go by and then they remember. Look at the PS3 1st party vs. 360 1st party, or PS2 1st Party vs. Xbox 1st Party. It's the same song and dance every generation, but with younger gamers that don't know gaming history or understand it until it's too late.

EDIT: This just in two days after my above post:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-13-microsoft-confirms-rise-of-the-tomb-raider-xbox-exclusivity-deal-has-a-duration?
Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer's comments confirm Square Enix, owner of Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics, is free to do whatever it wants with the game and the franchise after the exclusivity deal ends, including releasing it on other platforms.
Spencer: "Yes, the deal has a duration." Another timed exclusive exposed for Xbox. In record time I might add!
@SolidGame_basic: has more games than the ps4
Literally, the PS4 has more games than the Xbone. I own the Xbone, it's not a knock against the Xbone, it's just a fact. Lists and lists have been posted all over the internet and in SW, it's very easy to research if you want to know which machine has more games.

Yeah because $100 price drop for Xbox One had absolutely nothing to do with it's sales figures...
I'm one of the biggest Xbox supporters on this board. I think right now it's a better purchase than a PS4, but I'm not going to deny that it is dropping in sales numbers at an alarming rate.
Which is insignificant would depend completely on the individual. I would miss any of the ones in the poll in some fashion.

Of course it did I never said it didn't. I'm not an Xbox one supporter dude by any stretch of the means and would personally pick a Wii U over an Xbox One. The price drop was in response to the PS 4 not the Wii U.
