Well said. I choose to believe while I am a minority with my tastes I do not believe there’s not many other then me. By that I mean there are many out there that enjoy a variety of genres. Individually they are niche (the genres) but together it can add to something big if they do it right.

Also despite all that was said and how this gen went down, the XB1 will finish this gen with 50 million. That’s pretty respectable for such a disastrous start and lack of IPs. Compare it to other “failures” like WiiU, GameCube,  Xbox, hell even Nintendo 64 sold terrible compared to PS1 yet its praised to this day. They have imo the best services and play a near identical library as PS4, exclusives being the exception of course.

All they need is to advertise they have an edge on those multiplats which again are 90%+ of a consoles library. Which I think they are doing a good job and will hammer it further next month. And finally of course deliver on their own first party selection. Obliterate the notion that they only have the trinity. I’m tired of hearing that (it’s true) and hopefully next month will extend that list. It’s no small statement to say many like myself are getting tired of waiting and need that wow factor to keep us going. 

The reason N64 or GC even though as failures will be well remembered and X1 won't is the games.

Remove your prefferences from the equation and look at the top 10 best reviewed exclusives of N64 and X1 and you'll see.

Oh I’m aware. Owned both myself, no regrets. Just saying it could have been much worse. And its funny but it plays right into my tastes that some of my favourite games from both made their way to Xbox and was able to play again. Perfect Dark was my favourite N64 title and they remastered it for Xbox years ago. Nice personal touch. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
