No. The Xbox One will sell as many units as the Dreamcast in a fourth of the time, developers aren't gonna abandon it anytime soon.

Even if they did, at least Xbox One will have a Halo game. All the Saturn got was 3D Blast and Sonic R.
Edit: I don't understand how most gamers could be annoyed by this. It would make more sense that they happy that Xbox One cost less, doesn't have to be always online, etc.

Sonic R was fucking amazing, you're just wrong!

In some aspects maybe. The Kinect removal wasn't one of them. It would just be a problem if there was some big expensive AAA 3rd party game relying on it, but probably there wasn't any game being made for it. The used games policy probably made some 3rd parties rush to add online passes to games (because they wouldn't be necessary with the previous policy). I actually believe they aren't "pissed", just disapointed by how much lost and confuse the management of the X1 has been. It's clear to anyone that things didn't happen as they believed and their efforts to improve it were pretty crazy and plain weird. Cutting the price was their first move that makes sense.
Anyway, it isn't quite like Saturn. They were similar in launching a weaker machine with a bigger price point, but Sega even managed to piss off retails stores with the surprise launch. And while MS probably started taking bad decisions with X1, Sega was doing it with Sega CD and 32X before the Saturn, so they were pretty bad damaged at that point.
I really don't know why Xbox is still here. Yeah, there's Halo and stuff but the console doesn't know what it wants to be. The Wii U is similar by which it doesn't have a game that makes the Gamepad worth it(yet) but at least it isn't trying to be God.

Never owned a Saturn its the only Sega system I didn't own but for that price I would have bought one also even if the five games that came with it where all terrible.
Nintendo is the better analogy to Sega. Just a shame their massive fall this gen is softened by that endless mountain of cash.
I'm urging a boycott of Nintendo products.

It actually came with Daytona USA and Sonic Jam so I was happy just for that :D I also picked up Sega Rally for 97p brand new from a store and that's the best racing game I've ever played so I was more than happy with my Saturn. It actually had some great stuff and it was at the right time to get into the system to be able to pick up the more obscure releases relatively easily for a reasonable price before they dried up.
But yeah it was a good time to get into the Saturn. The consoles are worth about as much now as shops were selling them for 15 years ago haha. Though obviously before inflation.

That's complete BS and you know it. |
oh come on!
do you really think MS would say something like "Yeah, there will be a version without Kinect in 6 months or something, so don't buy the Xbox One just yet!"
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
Serious_frusting said: Here me out You have to consider how much microsoft has pissed of developers with all these 180s. Its like the 3rd parties are not really going to be able to trust a thing Microsoft says from now on. I think microsoft are lucky that the xstations architecture is similar to the PS4 and they already have agreements in place with 3rd parties. If not for this I could have seen 3rd party content drying up. |
Nor will anyone else for that matter...
