I own all three consoles and use my Xbox One for third/first party online gaming because Xbox One doesn't, for one thing, ever go down for "routine maintenance". Can't tell you how many fucking times I would go on my PS4 to play online and have to put up with that shit. It's inexcusable.

So for me, the Xbox One definitely has its place. Yes, it's lacking in exclusives but, for me, its worth owning for XBL alone.

 

Weird, I own all the consoles too and outside of maybe Christmas time (when the Xbox also has the same problem) I have never run into that situation... and I have had the ps4 since launch... maybe different parts of the world struggle more?  Still weird.

i do agree that exclusives aren’t the end all be all of console gaming.  The Internet forums way over emphasize them.  Still, I am very disappointed in Microsoft.  I expect better from them.  The early 360 years were freaking amazing!  They have definitely lost their way...

I wouldn't say "have" lost their way but definitely lost it there for a good while. From the start of Kinect until Don got fired, they were pretty much clueless. But ever since Phil took over, the entire damn thing has been rectified as far as "gaming" goes apart from first party games which, takes years to turn around. 

I fully expect a complete turn around next generation.
