As to "tying myself down to one console"? Don't make me laugh. There is not a SINGLE GAME that is Xbox exclusive that I can't live without! The most appealing exclusive they have coming is Halo MCC...and I already own (and have played to death) Halo 1, 3, and 4 on my 360. Not only do they not have any compelling exclusives (again, this is my personal opinion, yours may differ), but the VAST MAJORITY of games this generation will be multiplatform...and in almost every single case, those games look and play better on the PS4. In any case, WHEN I buy a 2nd console, I am going to buy the WiiU, not the Xbox. They have FAR more compelling exclusive games...and they offer game experiences that don't rely on having the most powerful hardware...it also has more "couch based" multiplayer games. It, and it's library will complement my PS4 nicely. In the end, for me, it really comes down to supporting the companies I believe do the most for their customers. I won't be supporting MS, NOT because they have a lower powered box...but mainly because they keep trying to push it as being "the best" when it is obviously not. It's because they don't do things "for the gamers" as they claim, but to try to pull one over on us. It's not limited to the "Mattrick era" either. Spencer orchestrated the moneyhatting timed exclusivity for Tomb Raider. A move that benefits Microsoft, sure...but at the expense of the gaming community as a whole. Bottom line...for me, there are PLENTY of reasons not to own an Xbox One...and I don't need to own one to know that it's not the right console for me! |
Pretty good point in not needed to own an inferior product to decide you actually don't need it.
