Forza 5, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Spark, Titanfall, Killer Instinct (even if the character designer is really bad)... There are plenty of appealing games on this console.
But yeah, I can see the price being a huge factor here. Just as it was for the PS3.
Backward compatibility is a non issue. You don't have that on the PS4 either. Maybe people live in really small apartment where they don't have enough room to have multiple consoles plugged into their TV at the same time... But it's never been an issue to me. Anyway, I don't go back to the older consoles often enough to find the lack of BC a bother.
And it doesn't require an internet connection anymore.
- An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
