Third party games are not a selling point for the XB1.

lol @ underlined. Can you find me some "legit" people who have no interest at all in Mario, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, or Zelda, but will buy a Wii U? You cannot, because unlike the Xbone where even if you don't care for MS games you still have amazing 3rd party support, if you don't care for Nintendo games there is 0 reason to own a Wii U.

The idea that you get good MS games and all of the next gen 3rd party stuff is absolutely a selling point for the Xbone. Your desire for me to find someone completely uninterested in anything MS games related to buy an Xbone is just silly. Next thing you'll ask is for me to find someone who despises metal music yet owns every Megadeth album. If that's the stretch you have to go for to make a point then it's probably not a point worth making.

Bolded - Explain this to me. If you're not buying XB1 exclusives, why aren't you getting a PS4? It's the same price, has the exact same games in that case, makes those games look and run better, and offers exclusive content in those games that you won't get with the XB1 version.

The answer is you don't get the XB1 to play third party titles.

Conclusion: Third party titles are not going to be moving XB1s.

The advantage Nintendo offers is a much wider audience for Nintendo first party games than there is for Microsoft first party titles. Halo is on the decline, and even at its highest moments it just doesn't compete with the Mario franchise and Gears doesn't compare to Zelda as a franchise.

The fact Nintendo games are so varied is another boost for a system relying on first parties to survive, and that's something XB1 lacks. XB1's biggest exclusives are mech shooter, alien shooter, alien shooter, zombie shooter, car sim. Well blow me away, that's some variety. Nintendo's biggest exclusives are platformer, adventure, jrpg, character action, kart racer.

Nintendo has almost entire genre's exclusively to itself for the foreseeable future.

 

You also missed the entire point of my mental exercise. If you can't find someone who will buy XB1 without wanting its first person exclusives, you can't find someone that would buy an XB1 for third party titles. This means third party titles are not a selling point for the system. Period. There is no counter argument here. That's why no single post has offered a counter point, it doesn't exist. There's factual data showing this with WD sales and there's going to be more with Destiny sales.

destiny preorder already shows this, we dont have to wait until release. xbone fans are just in denial. Your points are explained perfect, and the lack of counter argumments proove it. I sujest ignoring thouse replys that rely on hope and dreams with no evidence, or you will just go round in circles with people that just close their eyes at the truth.
