Perhaps you need to look up the word predictable...

pre·dict·a·ble

prəˈdiktəb(ə)l/

adjective

 

1. able to be predicted.

   "the market is volatile and never predictable"

   synonyms:

   foreseeable, (only) to be expected, anticipated, foreseen, unsurprising; informalinevitable "Guido's reaction was predictable"

   • derogatory

     behaving or occurring in a way that is expected.

     "the characters were very stereotyped and extremely predictable"

The only reason you think the alternatives are inferior is because you are incapable of escaping your own ignorance and bias and try them and see them for what they are.

Right, all my other digital downloads have worked fine... except this Halo digital download. Hence, this problem wasn't "anticipated."

I'm gonna stick with my bias of games I prefer. I know what the competition offers, I played their games on 7th gen platforms and 8th gen titles are more of the same. I'm opting for X1 because Gears and Halo were more enjoyable than anything the competition offered, in my opinion ofcourse. Oh, Killer Instinct is also one of the best fighting games ever created.

Even if the PS4 was a trouble free experience (unlike PS3), I'd still have to settle with games I don't much care for. That simply isn't a solution for me.
