A Positive Xbox One Thread

Please nobody kill me for being in here.

I just want you all to know that, despite my constant criticisms of Xbone and Microsoft, I actually really DO want an Xbox One. I mean, I'm not willing to pay what microsoft is demanding of me to get the most out of the system, I hate Kinect with a passion, and the launch doesn't look that good, but I honestly do believe that in a year or two, it'll recover and be as good as the Xbox 360. Kinda like how the PS3 started terribly but ended up ahead.

Right now, though, I'm still happy with my PS4U combo. I have a WiiU set up next to me (even though I don't really play it that much due to lack of software), and I have a PS4 on pre-order, and I think that'll do me.

I really do want more reasons to get a One, because as a game reviewer I think it's important to be impartial and keep your options open (I have every gaming console currently on the market and I intend to keep it that way), but right now, this is how I see it:

1 - PS4 is cheaper (I don't make a tonne of money, this is a huge factor)
2 - the PS4 controller is cheaper when you factor in the lack of a need for battery packs
3 - The PS4 interfaces with my Vita (be nice to give that system more use)
4 - the PS4 is more powerful (So in theory, multiplats will be better on it rather than last gen)
5 - PS4 has inFamous and Killzone.
6 - PS4 has the option to get the PSEye as opposed to it being forced
7 - I've already got PS+ paid off till October 2014

Even as a professional I can't see any reasons to get an Xbox One right now. Unless you really like Kinect and/or halo or Forza, it kinda just plain isn't as good. Right now, it boils down to this:

If I get a PS4, it'll cost me 460 bucks with the eye.

If I get an Xbox One, it'll cost me 500 for the system, 20 for a battery pack for the controller, and 60/year for Xbox Live Gold.

with taxes, that's like almost 200 dollars of a difference for a system that, as I said, just isn't as powerful. the exclusives aren't enough to make up for that difference, and unlike last generation, the multiplats won't be better on the Microsoft console.

Ah crap, maybe I shouldn't have posted on here. now I'm just feeling all negative again.

Honestly, guys! I do want one, I just can't afford one and I can't justify the expenses!

Are you the guy with 300k+ gamescore?
