This and many other threads you've created make me wonder, do you work for MS? Like seriously.

 

He reminds me of Selnor and to a lesser extent, Zero999... :/

If he really worked for MS I doubt he would have a Skies of Arcadia avatar.





It's not as if it's horrible.

During launch, yes, it was a piece of garbage. Though, MS really got themselves together and managed to make the Xbone a pretty good console.

It just lacks some things... japanese games, certain 3rd party/1st party support...

It has flaws. Nowhere near perfect. Improved, but can still get better

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

The cons?

- Multiplats are weaker, run less stable fps, graphically weaker than PS4 often.
- More expensive online services.
- *Very weak lineup of japanese games, and rpgs (and in general all the PS4 exclusives).

*there are so many great games comeing to the PS4, in 2016.
Its a slaughter, and honestly games => why you want a console.

 

I know things are subjective, but somethings are not:

1) The PS4 has a GPU about 50% faster than the Xbox One, and it shows really often in multiplat games.

2) The game line ups & future prospects. You are just so much better future proofed if you get a PS4 instead (2016+ game lineup & PSVR).

$10 isn't a huge difference games with gold has been a lot better then what has been on PS Plus recently.  Plus a gold membership offers better discounts and deals then a PS Plus membership does.



It doesn't have PlayStation written on it







VGChartz♥♥♥♥♥FOREVER

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence
  • Weaker hardware than the main competitor (PS4).
  • Controller still using batteries (opinion, doesn't have to be a con if you're ok with this)
  • Other controller features (opinion, personally not a fan of where the left stick is located)
  • Lack of Japanese games compared to the PS4
  • Lots of games being PS4 timed exclusive, console exclusive etc. due to the PS4's lead
  • Lots of publishers signing marketing deals with Sony due to the PS4's lead. This can result in getting DLC later or not at all, CoD switching from Xbox to PS4 being a great example from where XB1 used to get all DLC a month earlier to now getting new maps 30 days later. Quite the difference.
  • Lack of new, big franchises from Microsoft's own studios. What's the last time a Microsoft studio released a brand new AAA IP which succeeded and got one or multiple sequels?
  • Lack of creative freedom for Microsoft's studios. While Sony allows Naughty Dog to stop with Uncharted, arguably Sony's biggest IP, Microsoft forms a new studio (The Coalition) who are now going to work on Gears of War, a 9 year old franchise. Meanwhile it looks like 343 will be doing nothing but Halo until Halo dies, and Turn 10 will do nothing but Forza until Forza dies. Really the only other 2 (possibly 3) Microsoft studios with AAA capability are Lionhead (locked on Fable) and Rare who finally got released from their Kinect nightmare. And then you have Decisive Games working on "a beloved strategy game", who knows if that will be true AAA. What Microsoft should have done is let The Coalition make a new IP and either get a new studio for GoW or let a 2nd party develop GoW.
  • I already went over this kind of, but a lack of 1st party studios with AAA capabilities. Turn 10, 343 Studios, The Coalition, Rare, Lionhead and possibly Decisive Games. Which other studio has AAA capabilities? (correct me if I'm wrong, looking at this page I don't see any)

These are all legitimate cons to me. And please, if I made any mistaked please correct me.

Ha... thats totally subjective... and wrong.

Neither PS+ nor GWG have been giving any good games for the current generation, andI still get 50% more games than you do (6vs4 per month).

The PS+ sales are actually pretty heavy and worthwhile. I have NO CLUE where you pulled that one out of...



it has a con, the design of the console is a lot ugglier than the xb360 and xb360 slim.
