I actually HAVE an Xbox One, but I don't use it:

- The Games on that system don't catch my eye (No exclusives)
- Multiplatform games are better on PS4 (Base model, anyway)
- All the games I CAN get on Xbox I can also get on PC
- I have a PS4, Switch, and a low-end PC to cover me
- The system crashes my internet any time I use it
- Downloads take forever on the system, crippling the internet for hours at a time
- I have to buy batteries for the controller, which gets expensive
- Microsoft pissed me off with their DRM and Launch and Kinect
- Seriously, there are virtually no games on it and none coming out that interest me other than Sea of Thieves

There's really no reason to have an Xbox One unless you're SUPER married to your gamerscore or it's a rare thing where you love Halo/Gears/Forza enough to let them convince you to buy the system.

In the first week of owning a Nintendo switch, I played it more than I have almost 4 years of having the Xbox One. I've literally spent more time downloading updates and firmware and games on my Xbox One than I have playing games on that system.

The controller is nice, but I prefer the PS4's controller. Sure, Xbox One's controller has SUPER nice thumb sticks, but I feel literally everything else is better on PS4. Face buttons, D-pad, the shoulder buttons, the touch pad, and the feel/shape of it. This, combined with the PS4's marginally better base power, means that all multiplatform games are better on PS4 (not PS4Pro vs XboxOneX, because I don't have those, and I'm not gonna buy an Xbox One X for a console that has no games. I'll just stick to my PS4 and get a Pro if I ever get a 4K TV)

So even though I actually do like the console, I do like the controller, and I do think the system has potential, Microsoft isn't supporting it with games so I don't play it. The last 'Xbox exclusive' I had any interest in was cuphead, and I got that on steam. I can even use my Xbox Controller for it!
