I LOVE GIGGS on 19 June 2013
1. Games
- I bought a Wii U almost entirely to play Pikmin 3. That's the level of commitment/idiocy we're talking about here.
- Currently confirmed list http://www.computerandvideogames.com/414601/blog/xbox-one-games-the-full-list/">here. Halo 5, Forza Motorsports 5, TitanFall... Those are games I effectively feel I have to play.
2. Price isn't that high
- Perhaps more pertinently, when you compare the price of other consumer electronics, the Xbox One doesn't seem quite so stratospheric.
- A 16GB wifi-only iPad cost £429 ($500).
- The question is whether you think you will get £429 worth of use from owning an Xbox One. I do.
3. Kinect Will be good
- The presence of Kinect is one of the reasons for high price.
- Bundeling Kinect guarantees a fixed target for developers to aim at, all users will have the same component parts.
4. Xbox Live
- Xbox Live has been the more attractive, more robust, more fully featured of the two main online services.
- icrosoft will be launching "http://majornelson.com/2013/06/11/xbox-one-smart-match/">Smart Match" with Xbox One, new tech which will theoretically find suitable matches for you while you're doing other things.
5. It doesn't Matter Who Will Win
- My favourite machine of the generation before this was the GameCube.
- Competition drives gaming on to create better conten.
6. Things could change
