Out of Pod Experience

PC Release = Aimbots = Massive ISK Inflation

Even if they get nothing else truly worthwhile as an exclusive (which is doubtful, as the "VIP developers" WILL be treated nicely enough), the Halo franchise alone will sell a good number of units already, with its rabid fanboy following.

Underwhelming hardware, silly restrictions, treating some devs badly, that's still not quite enough to tank it.
XB360 already was heavily outperformed by PS3, yet it still stayed on par sales-wide. Devs were already treated worse by Microsoft (not so much for those that committed to exclusives, but that's kind of the point). And the PS3 was and still is less restrictive than the XB360, so not even that is a big surprise.

So what really changed exactly from the XB360-vs-PS3 days to this upcoming XB1-vs-PS4 debacle ?
They're actually closer in terms of performance now, and Microsoft is putting even more restrictions than usual, but other than that, everything else looks quite similar to what we got used to for the past 8 years.
Again, basically, not that much of a chance for a long-term upset, even if nothing changes from what we already know.

Sure, the HARDCORE gamers probably will go in a vast majority to PS4, but that's a cup in a bucket, not the majority of the bucket.

Error: inaccurate terminology detected. To be a fanboy you must utterly ignore reality and focus exclusively on the good parts.
At most, given your description, I would recommend something like a "ex Microsoft convenience user" as far as self-descriptions go.

Confirming CCP has a magic crystal ball that allows them to divine the future of gaming.

Well, I have to say..

I always supported MS and the xbox, well, the Playstation has finally surpassed it.

Good job I'm sticking to playing on the PC tbh.

I keep hearing this conspiracy about CCP needing sony money, first of all we have no idea if CCP got money from sony, how much,etc. Secondly we don't know if sony is taking a cut out of the pay 2 win features of failure 514, thirdly from looking at the game engine, and graphics it must have been fairly cheap to develop. I'd like to make one last point, CCP is making money from eve online they already have 450 employees, I am pretty sure that these employees are on payroll, so the myth that they needed money is that.

You can tell by the incarnia update most of the station walking stuff came from dust 514 development, so they used EvE dev time to work on dust, and then imported dust features to eve, and it doesn't bother me. I think CCP will eventually integrate both games, maybe we'll be able to have atmospheric flights and pvp on the ground.
