This is probably the first generation where I haven't bought Microsofts console, and I'm not sure I will. I bought a Wii U because it offered enough different games to my PC and PS4, but something just sticks. Back a few generations ago I had a Sega Saturn and a PS1. I loved that Sega Saturn, but it was painfully underpowered next to the PS1 and it wasn't long before it was dead on its feet. This generation painfully reminds me of that one, and the exclusives in Halo and Forsa, don't hook me in the way the Saturns exclusives made me still think it was a good console when I put it in Gaming heaven in my Loft. That goes double, when I have already played all of the Halos to death over the years.
I certainly won't hate on somebody for buying an XB1 though. I've never seen more people flat out lying about a product though, it is consumerism gone completely mad. I got tired of seeing that chart in every thread for 6 months questioning my eye sight, and now it is beautiful 1080p parity. Did I miss something with that turnaround? I was quite happy to have games based solely on a fun factor in the first place. I doubt things will stay at close to parity for long, as games like Unchartered will probably be such a leap from the lazy stuff a lot of third parties put out, that people are bound to stop accepting it.
I'm sure of one thing though. Next generation Microsofts machine will be a powerhouse machine, based on gamers needs and demands, and it will not be all those who Bought an Xbox one that made it that way, it will be all those who did not.
