Xbox One is the best console if you don't care about exclusive new games - The Verge

We could say the same of BC... Xbox didn't had a prior gen, X360 wasn't BC, X1 got BC middle gen and is limited.... but now it is all important?

But Kinect has some of the worst games of 360. They are suddenly important just now, after being shitted on for years. No one cares about Kinect. Xbox One launch is the evidence. People care about old games. Countless remasters coming out on newer consoles proves that.

Sure I agree Kinect games were bad, still they won't be BC on X1, that was the guy point... so if you bring the "now it matters" then you also have to bring it on the fact that before X1 didn't have it.

And countless remasters prove exactly the opposite, that people want to play those old games but on current graphical capabilities. People keeping old systems is what would prove interest in keep playing the old games.

Don't know how could you live before Xbox made the BC... and not all games work... are you a PC gamer?

I didn't get an Xbox One until 2016. Before the BC I would've never got the console.

and the other consoles?

Will take your word on it =]

PS3 had BC (first HW and then emulated) and people happily traded it for lower cost.

Not me. 😡

My BC PS3 broke after I'd sold by PS2. So many games with no console to play them on! Luckily (?) most of the great ones got rereleased.

You are one unlucky fellow ( I would have bought a BC console as well if I were in position to buy a PS3 near launch), but the market at large much preferred the lower price than the BC.

People buy consoles for games not a place that's "the best for gaming". That makes absolutely no sense, want to play 360 era games? Buy a 360 for one tenth the price of an X1. What to play Xbox "exclusives"?

Where do I get an Xbox 360 in working condition with controller, HDD and all necessary cables for 20 bucks? 

I paid 50 bucks with like 10 games, does that qualify?
