Again, I've said this several times already, I am not bashing this article because it is "showing the Xbox a little love" (which btw stop portraying Xbox as the poor little victim here, the times of all Xbox press being negative press is long over, even if the idiots on r/xboxone love to still play that tune). And stop with the whole "there's no bashing of other platforms in there", that doesn't make the article less shit.

Do you not see how this article is telling people to buy an Xbox One now based on these things:

Halo 5, Forza 6, RoTR, QB, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, the next season of KI, Recore, Gears 4, Crackdown 3, Halo Wars 2, Backwards Compatibility, Ark Survival on Xbox Preview, playing Fifa early (which he doesn't mention you need EA Access for btw), Windows 10 and Crossplay.

Now let's mark the stuff on this list that's actually out on X1 and could thus have fully been tested by the author

Halo 5, Forza 6, RoTR, QB, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, the next season of KI, Recore, Gears 4, Crackdown 3, Halo Wars 2, Backwards Compatibility, Ark Survival on Xbox Preview, playing Fifa early (which he doesn't mention you need EA Access for btw), Windows 10 and Crossplay.

And that right there is my big problem here, have we not had enough of journalists mindlessly hyping stuff and trying to sell us on stuff without having fully tested it (hey guys Destiny/Watch Dogs will be the best thing since sliced bread better buy it as soon as it comes out...oh wait), I mean companies have marketing departments for that shit, I don't need some journalist that is supposed to be impartial here to do that job for them. I mean FFS that dude is literally telling people that they should not wait to play the new Tomb Raider but that they have to get it as soon as they can (because we haven't been burned by that attitude recently, right?).

Why else should people buy a consoles if not for an amazing lineup of exclusive games and features? Microsoft has build an amazing list of exclusives that far surpass my own high expectation and has completely caught me off guard with Backward compability (E3's biggest annoucement IMO) and remote play. The Xbox One has progress so much from where it start in 2013 and Microsoft has really turn the ship around. Everyone should be concidering buying an Xbox One. 

That paragraph really seals it, you just don't get it.
