Was a big mark agains the 360, but not exactly game breaking for me since I don't play multiplayer. In the past, did you say that you are tired of Halo/Forza/Fable/Gears of War games? If yes, you weren't going to buy an Xbox One. I love both Halo and Gears of Wars hehe. In the past, did you state that Sony cares more about gamers than any other console manufacturer? If yes, you weren't going to buy an Xbox One. I think Sony's a corporation that knows a lot better who they're going after with their product. In the past, did you talk about how the focus on "mature" gaming isn't up your alley? If yes, you weren't going to buy an Xbox One. Gaming is mature enough as it is. Gamers however... In the past, did you troll a lot in Kinect threads? If yes, you weren't going to buy an Xbox One. I was really impressed with the first showing of the Kinect and became less interested in it as time went by. |
Truth be told I had always planned on getting a new XBox 360 sometime. Had most games I was interested in not come to the PC and had I not been able to just borrow the damn thing from a friend, I probably would have gotten it again (my third one, maybe it would have been the charm).
As it stands, had Microsoft really brought the thunder for the next gen, I would have wanted a console eventually. I liked the XBox well enough at its time and only took mine off the shelf because it could no longer function as a Media hub since most videos came in higher quality and it couldn't render them properly - it was my anime machine for a long time -; I did not mind some of the stuff coming to the 360 and a lot of games were actually very nifty, with a lot of new games coming out that would peak my interest.
So yeah, I'm not biased against Microsoft per say, but I don't wish to support this road they're taking. Had it been different, they may very well have gotten my money at some point...but right now...can't see that happening honestly, especially as the console seems to not work in my country and I doubt we're on their "high priority" list.
