And how does that work when you want to play an xbox 360 kinect game? Or to play those games that the publishers will never allow? Or after all these years hasn't gotten around to?

Lets have a race. I'll go grab my Xbox 360 out of the closest and insert Tales of Vesperia. You insert it into your xbox one. Lets see which one gets to play it first?

Although you may have a lead. I'd have to first find batteries for my xbox 360. I have to take them out so they don't explode and leave gunk all over like last time.

I'd choose another game but every game (but one) I can play on my xbox 360 can't be played on XB1. So I'd have to go look for a list of Xbox 360 games. Then cross check it against a list of what games have been released.  That is just a lot of extra time.

Now if it was like the wii U BC - I'd agree. I can put any wii game in my wii U and immediately play it.  But then again who is saying the wii U is the best console because it can play all wii games? Along with a VC of many, many games. No one serious..

As if I ever claimed you can play tales of vesperia on the Xbox one. Nor did I ever claim that you can play your ENTIRE 360 library on One. 

Nor did I say that Xbox is the best console. Nor did I say BC is the sole factor that makes a console great.

Dont really get the point of this post.

And kinect games? Really? Kinect is suddenly the most important thing to you now, when motion control has been dead for years? gimme a break.

We could say the same of BC... Xbox didn't had a prior gen, X360 wasn't BC, X1 got BC middle gen and is limited.... but now it is all important?

Well said and well written.  

I was going to reply to his post however you nailed exactly what i would have said. And if i replied, majority would just accuse me of being a bias fanboy and a hypocrit. 

The library on the X1 is massive if we include everything however many look at exclusives being the only thing that comtributes to the library size.

Again well said. Thank you.

Again with this nonsense. No one has even suggested that, yet, you find a way to make yourself a victim. No “majority” is out to get you! I’ve told you about this before. Quit trying to look for something that isn’t there.

Perhaps he is assuming himself before anyone else says it.

This was a funny thread on a lot of aspects



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

It is, hardware, network and OS-wise, the best console I have ever owned by far.

I don't have any stake in any of this thread's conversations but I'd like to correct the assertion that X360 wasn't BC. It very much supported software emulation of the original Xbox. Not all games were supported but the list was substantial enough to be considered decently BC at a minimum.

Will take your word on it =]

PS3 had BC (first HW and then emulated) and people happily traded it for lower cost.

The title of the article is an oxymoron.

X1 has no games?

Consoles are defined by exclusives. Without those, PC is superior, every single time.

I'm gonna have to disagree. PC has its pros yes but it's most definitely NOT superior EVERY SINGLE time.

A lot of gamers don't care about exclusives, though . We all know them. The gamer that only plays Madden, FIFA,. Call of Duty, or what have you. They exist.

Indeed, I also think the ability that you can change your username/play Bc games/Early access games that may end up being multiplatform but in cases like subnautica take years to release on PS4 (and it still did not release)/refund games/gamepass/ makes it an more enjoyable console user experience.

It's a point of view that is as good as any other. But it's also subjective.

Personally I don't care about changing my user name, if I did not like my user name I would have not chosen it.

BC games are nice for those who care but I don't. If I still wanted to play PS3 games I would simply not have sold my PS3 but when I chose to sell it I did to buy a PS4 and I got a PS4 because I want to play PS4 games and not PS3 games... In those rare occasions I would want to play again an old game, Sony often provides remasters and remakes, like Shadow of the Colossus, so much more beautiful compared to the original, why would I want to play the original when I can play the much better looking new version.

Early access/beta versions don't interest me. I enjoy fully finished games, I'm a gamer, not a beta tester. And in a day and age where even fully finished games still need patches, the last thing in the world I'll ever care to go for is early access games.

As for refunding games, I honestly don't know how that works with the PS4 cause I never had to worry about that. I am well informed before purchasing a game so I never purchased a game I ended up not liking cause I don't random purchase games.

As for Gamepass well I guess it would be a great feature if applied to the amazing PS4 catalog though I can understand that Gamepass would make no sense for Sony and if there was a Gamepass on the PS4 I am certain there would not be all the amazing games we have. What would be the incentive for Sony to invest in so many good games if they were all to go for 10 dollars/month? I think a Gamepass deal is just that company telling you "we don't have too many good games and we don't plan to spend billions in making great games so we have a deal for you: for 10 bucks go ahead and pick up whatever you can find in our catalog".

Everyone has their own reasons to choose one system over another of course so these are my reasons for my choices.
