I'll start out by saying that none of the original XBone announcement bullet points bothered me. I have a VERY reliable internet connection, and while I will sometimes buy used games, I never sell them (and looking at my PS4 library, I have no used games, more than 2 years into its life). So yeah, I wasn't really planning on getting an XBone, but it wasn't because of their initial blunders.
But here's the thing. I have a PS4, WiiU, and a high end gaming PC. I can't think of too many reasons to drop 400+ bones on a piece of hardware that has a dwindling library of real exclusives. I already have, or can get, Ori, Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Gears of War, etc. Every now and then a game gets announced that tempts me (Re-Core, Quantum Break, etc), but those inevitably (officially or unofficially) get announced as making their way to PC. I honestly can't think of a single exclusive game on the XBone that I even want to play at this point that isn't already coming to PC, or will likely make its way to PC.
Third party games I get on PC and PS4, Nintendo exclusives on the WiiU, and Sony exclusives on the PS4. That leaves less than a handful of games unaccounted for, and I'm OK with that. Of course, if Microsoft and From got together for XBOX's own "Bloodborne" type game, I would immediately change my tune. Microsoft, if you're reading this, I will immediately buy your machine if you broker a deal with From Software. No questions asked. But do me a favour and make it also come to PC as well. Kthx.
Anyways, that's it. The need to buy an XBone is very small for me, because I already have most of the industry covered.
