Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Why il be getting an Xbox One..

Tagged games:

..at some point. 

im a huge playstation fan as most of you know but im also a gaming fan. The Xbox Original was so amazing and i loved it alot! the X360 was in the best word i can describe it.. junk.. and the Xbox One did look just as bad. 

UNTILL MS changed everything and now if im honiest the onlt things holding me back from first day is: i dont want Kinect and the price. 

The Xone (since the 180) looks pretty cool! yes its not as powerful as a PS4 and yes its still evil Ms but from a gamers heart it looks pretty good! What really converted me was seeing TitenFall in action. oh. my. tits. Its looks pretty fun an unless there is a PS4 release planned il have to get a Xone for it at some point! sames goes with PVZ:Garden Warfare. if no PS4 version is announced in the future il have to get the Xone for that too! also that dragon game tey showed at E3 also looks really good. 

The Xbox One relly reminds me of the Xbox Original and its getting me excited!

im hoping it bombs at first and MS drop the kinect and maybe the Tv stuff and strip it down to a sexy price point. il be right on board!

How will dropping the "Tv stuff" make the console better? It certainly wouldn't drop the price. And what exactly does "Tv stuff" refer to anyway?



Seems unbiased core gamers will pick one up at some point. Both libraries will offer great games and multiplats will be largely identical.

Everybody else will be swayed by price, geographical brand mindshare established in the current gen, and whether or not the benefits of Kinect are worth picking it up over a PS4.

Personally Kinect adds a ultra modern lifestyle to the console, and for $100 more, its much more convenient to find things, control media, and complement gamepad based games. Others won't give a shit though as they are more "no frills" gamers.

Ill wait and see, this looks exactly like the 360 where it had exclusives for the first couple years then they slowly dwindled away to just Halo, Gears and Forza.  I mean honestly think about it, Mircrosoft can't afford to keep buying 3rd party games for the whole generation, especially with the increased cost to make the games.

its has a TV tuner it or something doesnt it? the thing is the size of a house and the Ps4 is estimated to be 50% more powerfull but about 40% smaller.. something is taking up all that room in there! smaller system - smaller price.

Except they now have a ton more studios at their disposal then they did in 2005.

Its 1st and 3rd working together, instead of 3rd carrying 1st.

I have a feeling MS will use its muscle with developers to ensure equal versions so their console isn't given a distinct disadvantage.

Well see minor graphics gaps with exclusives, but I am very certain MS will insist most 3rd party games be identical for equal competition sakes. There will be exceptions offcourse.

I'm sorry i had to stop reading at evil ms.
I fail to see how ms is a evil corp. they rank among the highest in CSR in the industry. For those who do not know what CSR means it stand for corporate social responsibility, google it and educate yourselves.
Just because they want your money doesn't make them evil, they are a business its kinda of the point. Its pathetic how people act like sony is a non-profit organization, they really don't give two shits about you and to think otherwise shows how delusional some of you sony fans really are.
