People need to understand it isn't about exclusives anymore. It is about the entire experience. If all your friends have an Xbox you will get an Xbox. You may buy both systems, but the majority will get what the rest of their friends get. |
Exclusives will always matter. Without them, your "friends" wouldn't have a need to grab an Xbox over a PlayStation, and vice-versa. I know I bought both the PS3 and Xbox 360 because each system had their own features not available elsewhere (exclusive games being a huge factor).
Otherwise, you're saying Halo, Uncharted, Gears of War, and Gran Turismo shouldn't be exclusive games since they have no definitive pull, which would be nonsense.

It isn't just about exclusives. Some people maybe pick up the console for the Kinect 2.0 or maybe cause the Xbox may be cheaper than the PS4 or maybe even cause they want a new cable box.

Kinect 2.0 would still be an exclusive feature. Then again, no where in my post did I say it was "just about exclusives".
Also, I think it's funny talking to Xbox people today, six years ago, it was "better than the PS3 BECAUSE of the exclusives".

I am surprised someone would end up talking about a console's interface as "the experience". "The experience" is a rationalization for one's own biases because of a religious attachment to a brand name. or rationalizing what one's clique plays. The idea here is to ask, exactly what do you need in order to put up with things that is arguably HORRIBLE for the consumer. I asked about DIVX before. Go look that one up.
It is about what is unique to a console ownership that would make you remain loyal.

If Kinect helped the 360, which it did, and wasn't available on the PS3, that would be an exclusive feature that pushed units. In business, that's what matters. Besides, since Kinect is "the fastest selling piece of hardware in history", why shouldn't it be brought up?

I was commenting more on the "exclusives don't matter" but it is about "the experience" that was said. I was trying to say exclusiveness would matter. Kinect would be worth discussing as far as exclusives, because it provided a unique play experience, and exclusive content. There is no Dance Central on the PS3, for example. There is Just Dance, but that, while in the same category, is a different animal.
