Oh the NES games!! I love the old classics! Your alright! :)  

I actually just booted up Yoshi's Island about an hour ago while waiting for delivery!

I wanted to quote your other post that's too long. I started reading it until I got to the prices of your controllers...I'm going to go back and read the rest...but I'm curious...where do you live/shop that charges $80 for an Xbox controller?

Most of the games I like are PS exclusives.



Gaming PC.



literally no appealing exclusives. as a student can't afford more than 1 console. and Xbox is not an option with that kind of library

am pretty sure the dreamcast had more exclusive big titles.

I like the controller. I do not like the UI for any of the xboxes really. I think the one x is a better console than the PS4 pro. not because of performance. it runs cooler quieter and its well designed. the PS4 pro looks like an intern design. but the xbox one x just has no games

Microsoft has 2-3 years at most to save it from being am embarrassment if they can pump  out 2-3 exclusives a year until xbox 2 (even tho who knows they might just make xbox a service from now on. the company is huge and xbox to them is a drop in the bucket.)

 

microsoft has the money to force xbox to be the #1 brand but they are an american  company. they will not do it and they will take 0 risks. even if the risk is minute compared to their size. 

 

am not interested in their shooters exclusives. the og xbox and the 360 were 100 times more appealing than the One. tho as a kid never had money to buy more than 1.

The MS store has the base models at 50 dollars US. I have family in Fort Erie Ontario and I remember the prices in Canada were higher than the US but I was under the impression it was all relative. The value of the US dollar to the Can dollar fluctuates...I'm sure you're aware...but I couldn't imagine it being that disproportionate.

The price is cheaper now, but it was more expensive at launch when i bought it.  

I just checked amazon, and Xbox One Controllers are 55-60, and PS4 controllers are $60 now. Price used to be $80 and $75.  



I do own a gaming PC, always have since 25 years, but I can’t remember one time where Microsoft wasn’t despised by me and my fellow gamers. I’d never give them any money if I can avoid it.

That makes more sense. Not being pretentious... I was just wondering.

I figured! that's why I answered as clearly as I could. Wasn't being aggressive against you. Not my style.
