I would definitely choose games than more pixels. To each his own. |
Most people would. It is a good thing the Xbox still gets games.
It just hardly has any exclusives, which is okay if you don't give a crap about them... And some people don't.
I mean... I didn't care for Uncharted, Gears of War or Mario Kart for instance, so would never buy those consoles for those games... But I would buy them for a multi-platform like Battlefield.

PUBG (exclusive for now), Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, Titanfall 1 (a much better game than 2 imo), and Halo 5 off the top of my head. Not to mention a plethora of BC titles spanning 2 previous consoles. Mind you, not everything is getting upgrades, but enough of my library is so I'm happy with my purchase. Not to mention the best controller in gaming history (again, imo). |
* PUBG is on PC, probably end up on Playstation later.
* Sea of Thieves isn't out yet.
* Cuphead I will give you, but it's not a graphics powerhouse. Also on PC.
* Titanfall 1 is old, archaic... And if I am to be honest... A very ugly game as it's based around the venerable Source engine. The population is probably dead by now.
* Halo 5 is also a few years old at this point, was not as great as prior games in the franchise like Halo 3 IMHO... I tried to play a Warzone match the other day, population seems dead in Oceania.
Backwards compatibility is a good selling point if you have allot of titles from prior Xbox platforms (I do) and you care for such a scheme. (Not everyone does... And that is okay.)
Xbox One X's improved graphics for older titles is good, however... If you were to take say... Oblivion, Assassins Creed or any other older game... The PC was running those games better on release, still great if you have a games library from those generations and aren't a PC gamer though..
I just find it hilarious that it's apparently some kind of new revelation that older games can look better. Haha
Best Controller? You know what. Outside of the Keyboard and Mouse, I agree.
I have always preferred the Asymmetrical analogue sticks... Microsoft has had the better controller starting with the 360 IMHO.
I also like the fact that they have retained AA battery compatibility.
| AngryLittleAlchemist said: In relation to PS4 though? The last metric I've seen is that the PS4 has nearly, but not exactly, double the exclusive software when including every game under the sun. Honestly though, I was just making a lighthearted joke |
Well. It does share over 1,000+ games with the Xbox One at last count I think.
Shares a ton with the PC too.
Something like over 90% of the games library on the Xbox One/Playstation 4 are shared with each other and other platforms, that's the reality of the industry today as developers/publishers try to push their games to as large of an Audience as possible.
I mean... It's great to claim you have a ton of exclusives but... The reality is. Majority are multi-platforms regardless if it's Xbox One or Playstation 4 or PC.
I think what Microsoft is attempting to do though is leverage the 6th and 7th gen library's to make it's game situation seem more favorable to the competition, some people are obviously going to lap it up especially if they get the Resolution, Framerate and Anisotropic filtering boost on the Xbox One X.

Exclusives don't sell in big numbers compared to multiplats so continually using that argument is moot to your average gamer. |
Exclusives can sell like gangbusters though.
Halo 3 was an exclusive and sold over 14+ million copies on the 360.
Pokemon Red/Green/Blue sold over 30+ million copies on the Gameboy.
Grand Turismo sold an obscene amount on the Playstation 2 as well if I recall.
League of Legends has enough Gamers to start a nation.
Microsoft needs exclusives.
But not only does it need exclusives... It needs exclusives that make people *want* to buy into the platform.
It also needs exclusives that push the console to it's limits and shows off what the Xbox One X's hardware can do, games like Cuphead, PubG, Sea of Thieves and Crackdown are not the games that will do that.
****************
I am interested to see if Microsoft will counter the PS4 Pro bundle by leveraging the Xbox One S at a lower price, the Xbox One X is selling on it's power merits for the foreseeable future, so they have that to bolster average selling prices of the hardware division.
