ScreamRide

Fable Legends

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Halo 5

Crackdown 3

Quantum Break

 

Right now I'm excited for Halo 5 and Crackdown 3. Though I'm probably not going to buy Halo 5 day one in case it ends up like MCC. Is this a good enough lineup to convince you to buy an XBO?

You should remove Rise of the Tomb Raider, it's coming to 360 and has already been confirmed by Phil Spencer that the deal has a duration.

Confirmed to be coming to 360:

Crackdown 3 isn't confirmed as a 2015 release, not by Microsoft or the developers anyway.

 

Scream Ride will also be coming to 360:

Nothing in that line-up is enough to make me want an XB1, I already have a PS4, it has the better 2015 line-up as far as I'm concerned and as my next 8th gen console the Wii U has way more games in 2015 that make me want it over an Xbox One, like Starfox, Zelda, Xenoblade, Splatoon, especially combining that with the games already on the system.

 

Money is also a real concern next year, as well as size of the library, Wii U is a much cheaper system and it has many more games that I'd like.

PS4 has something like 20 true exclusives that I'd like next year, plus all of the multiplats I'll be playing on PS4 because they run best there and all of my friends are on PS4 too.

I mostly agree with you about the games, but not about the price.  At least, not in the US.  An XB1 could be had this Black Friday for as little as $279 with two games, and XB1 has had a lot of deals to get games for cheap.  Nintendo keeps their big games at full price.


I live in the UK, so Wii U is pretty cheap here, with a game. People look to buy one cheap can get an 8GB model, cheap HDD and Smash for like £200 on Amazon. Black Friday deals were pretty awesome for the XB1, next year will probably be even better. Prices always depend on where you are of course, games can on occassion be had for a lot cheaper, though things like the Marios and such like you say can be pretty high for the amount of time they've been out.

Over here Xenoblade on the Wii was a rare item for a long time, you could probably buy a couple of Wii's 2nd hand for the price of that game.
