1. Halo - I'm sick of this franchise
2. Kinect - Haven't touched it since the month I bought it
3. Titanfall - Ok this looks interesting but it will also be on PC
4. Smartglass - Nobody will use this after the first week
5. TV - I can already use this feature on a magical device called a TV


2) but this time kinect will really work as good as they promised half a decade ago-and will have games people will really like.I swore(xx)

5)than you must be lightyears ahead of ms rocket science tv high tech.I'd rather pay 500bucks for a new console+100 for a new receiver to watch TV (=experience)instead of watching tv with my old receiver(boring)

4)smartglass is revolutionary and unique-as long as you ignore wii u tablett or vita and dislike precize stick controls

5+ points for well disguised sarcasm.

They saw Titanfall.


You know, I don't think you need any more content. This alone will probably last a good 3 years. You could take a vacation. Just make a bot to post these on every thread as each and every one will be good and viable. You've earned a rest.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

The Xbox is an American brand, of course CNN is going to back it despite the bad press where it truly matters.


Why do you Sony guys think that every single media outlet in the world is bias to xbox?? People are taking this way too seriously. There isn't any real favoritism being shown here, they had the exact same article about ps4. Its just objective reasons why both consoles are good. They just have flamebait titles because they know silly sensitive fanboys will flock to these articles like flies to sh*t.



1. Halo. We only got a CGI trailer so far and that's at least a year off of Xbox's launch. What will sell it before then?
2. Kinect- not worth £80 for what it does. Personally, i would probably only use it's features once and go back to a controller. Techies will like it though.
3. Titanfall- how will this sell Xbox One when it also on Xbox 360 and PC?
4. Smartglass- Anyone can download it. I have it on iOS and Android for some reason despite not having an Xbox, it works with games for windows though.
5. TV- we can do all that without an Xbox.

Those reasons are pretty weak i think and it has little chance of dominating as it is. As always, it all comes down to games. We don't even know the full launch line up for either Xbox One or Playstation 4 yet. But i think people have already decided.

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I thought they said that Titanfall might come to the PS4? Those reasons won't make me buy an Xbox One, but maybe one game down the line will.


Unless you follow gaming on the internet you don't know there is a chance it could go to the PS4. Plus I wouldn't want to wait around a year just to see if there is a chance you get to play it on another console or not.

The same guy that wrote this article also wrote the Top 5 reasons the PS4 will win. Game journalism is going down hill rather fast.

Editor’s Letter: CNN Trolls Both PS4 & Xbox One as Journalism Fails Yet Again

July 6, 2013 Written by Sebastian Moss

Editor’s Letter is a series of ongoing articles on the state of PSLS, its future and the future of the industry as a whole.

Over the years, I’ve become pretty used to sites lacking any sort of moral compass and simply pumping out shoddy trash, but it still hurts me every time I see it – especially when it’s from a respected national outlet.

Today CNN sunk to a shocking low, with the same writer publishing these two articles on the same day – ’5 reasons the Playstation 4 will crush the competition’ and ’5 reasons the Xbox One will dominate’. The same writer on the same day.

I’m not even going to bother talking about how both articles are poorly written, needlessly split across multiple pages to force you to click again and again, that he writes Playstation not PlayStation, and that he thinks there are games called Killzone War Zone and Octodad: Deadliest Catch.

Instead, I’m going to talk about what’s wrong with the same writer on the same publication writing these two articles. Each one is created to troll the audience and rile them up by saying something sensationalist, with the writer declaring a victor in each article, successfully stirring the pot in both camps. The PS4 ‘will crush’, the Xbox One ‘will dominate’… these are not articles about how either console could completely win (which is impossible anyway), but singular irrefutable statements of fact – that refute each other.

Worse still, each article is essentially a copy/paste of the other, opening the same, borrowing the same phrases.

These are posts purposely designed to get people angry and clicking, which is more commonly known as flamebait. There is no respect for the readers, they are a means to a click-filled end, idiots conned into reading awful articles that are completely misleading. It’s disgusting, shameful and a poor excuse for journalism.

This is a writer and a publication that is straddling both sides of an argument, without offering balance, just flip flopping for traffic. There are genuine reasons to believe one console may lead another (not crush), but CNN have managed to pretend both sides will ‘dominate’ the other.

If you’re going to write misspelled, factually incorrect, one-sided garbage, at least stand by your misspelled, factually incorrect, one-sided opinion and don’t contradict yourself on the same day.

LOLZ! this thread lost it credibility quite fast!





Why do most foreigners hate Xbox brand and the reason that it's owned by an American Company?

Anyway, I think people are underestimating Killer Instinct as a system seller. A lot of 90's gamers will activate their nostalgia mode for it.



Killer Instinct sealed the deal for me but I was 99% sure I was getting a Xbox One anyways. I just like the online infrastructure and interface too much not to get it. Also I can't live without Halo and the amount of exclusives they are showing already is just icing on the cake. Just like when Uncharted 4 is released I will pick up a PS4 at that time. Both consoles will have exclusives that I can't pass up on.
