Yeah that’s part of what I wanted to dig into. I didn’t mention that in my original post, but yes, crossovers are obviously working to some extent or they wouldn’t continue doing it. It was just weird to me, personally, because I’ve never bought another game simply because of the crossover. 😅

Xbox 360 was beating the PlayStation 3 in sales until late in the generation and by the PS4 and Xbox One the PS3 had slightly outsold the Xbox 360.

It's easy to explain how PS2 beat original Xbox since PS2 had DVD support out of the box and PlayStation was already established due to the previous generation. Xbox 360 did well for them to be beating PS3 but as PS3 games started outputting more the console jumped in sales. The Xbox One launch was lackluster and PlayStation 4 was simply cheaper and more powerful so it started with a lead and is around 2:1 in terms of outselling Xbox One.

So I think PlayStation just had a larger marketshare overall and always had because Xbox came into the market at the height of PlayStation domination.

No, there's nothing to change.

Trim isn't a setting on the SSD. It's a thing the SSD does when the OS sends the trim command to it, if the SSD has support for the function (practically all SSDs do).

If you instruct your laptop not to use trim on an SSD, that particular laptop will stop using trim. It doesn't change the behavior of other systems that may use the same SSD at a later point.

There's no reason to not use trim, unless you really like awful write speeds.
