It is especially meaningless when your console is not even out and the PC already surpassed it.
So the collective gamerdom throws its arms up and asks: "so, uhh... what else you got?"
Or it would, if it was composed of moderately intelligent, reasoning people.
Instead, it is 99% fanboys who have already decided one of the two to be "OMG best thing ever day 1 buy!!! ... picking sides like this is an election or something.
"The key to that is as long as there's innovation occurring within the gameplay, as long as there's new features, then who the hell cares what IP it happens to be attached to?."
