Runa, Ok let’s climb off that high horse now. You can keep explaining the Xbox One gen till you are blue in the face. Doesn’t change the optimism me and many others share for the next gen. I’m not saying you should jump on the hype train, you clearly need to see the critical acclaim to be remotely swayed. That’s fine, but you saying it’s wrong to not prefer what you prefer with that kind of passion just doesn’t make you come off as well as you think. I explained myself, and I’m sure other Xbox fans have their motivations. We’re just excited that for the first time in years they seem to have their act together. Now you can accept that or be quiet. 

I think thats where he is getting at. While there are people like you out there and nobody should tell you what to like, and you can be as hyped as you want. Everyone has their preferences and thats fine. But you seem to think that there are a mass amount off people like you out there, while you are in fact in the minority. While again, thats also fair to be. You seem to be hyping up a past and possible future that most do not like and are looking at what MS has presented and could show in the july event with just mistrust, denial, pessimism or whatever else.

Both have valid points but not everyone has the same tastes. While a lot of people may not find value in Xbox games and Halo, there is a significant amount of people who still do and love playing Halo and Xbox, today. I personally haven't touched an Xbox console since the 360 because the games don't suit my preference anymore.

It might be down to support for the consoles or lack of any interesting games that I would sit down, play and complete - when you own same brand of consoles two generations you kind of know what to expect. But they have expanded their Studios from the sounds of it they might be improving. MS might not make games your liking (and personally not my cup of tea anymore), but for Xbox gamers its gonna be exciting time indeed just as PS5 imminent launch is for PS gamers.

Who knows, we could have the biggest push for 1st party titles and support in the two decades they have been in the games industry. I mean if they show Fable 4 and Perfect Dark and it doesn't look like garbage to play (sorry 360 PD sucked) then I would be pretty excited too. Being mostly a PC gamer, and the direction Xbox is going in I would bet that most games going forward are going to be playable on PC as well, day one.
