So, seeing the xbox one play out over the last few months was pretty interesting. At first, everyone was hating it and for good reasons. It was a drm box and kinect was mandatory etc. Look at this awesome console now though. It has all the nice features of the xbox one kinect, but it isn't mandatory anymore for the people who don't like that stuff. The games lineup is rather strong imo too which include titles like... It has come a long way from the first reveal. The only problem now would be a kinect less bundle, but that will prob come later since the $500 one is selling right now anyways.

Forza Motorsport 5: Should call it Daylight Club Racing, or something, because the designers seem to refuse to have night racing or any weather.

Ryse:Son of Rome: If this was by Sony would you really be excited about it?  I mean REALLY?  How is this not Microsoft's attempt to have an IP to answer for God of War? Anyone else BUT Microsoft published it, and people wouldn't care.

Dead Rising 3: I would say that is kinda interesting to me, and could be something if done right.

TitanFall: PLEASE think about this for a moment.  Titanfall follows what was done with Call of Duty, but has mechs, AND IS MULTIPLAYER ONLY.  Read that last part, MULTIPLAYER ONLY.  Does any of Sony's multiplayer online only titles interest you at all?  If not, WHY would you be interested in Titalfall?  To me, to be blunt, you are hyping it BECAUSE of it being an exclusive first and foremost.  There is secondary that it was guys who worked at Infinity Ward before the fallout.  If it was multiplatform, you seriously wouldn't care.

It will also have all the Multiplatform releases like the ps4. Some include: Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, The Witcher 3

So in short, the xbox one has become a rather compelling purchase and great competition for the ps4. You can't really go wrong with either console.So who else agrees that the xbox one has become a rather nice console?

By that logic the PS2 was just a weaker Xbox, but I doubt you view that comparison the same way, do you?

There's lots to like about the Xbox One, at least if you're in NA where the NFL is huge, and we have rooms that are big enough to accomodate Kinect.

The Twitch.tv integration is a nice touch as well. I watch a ton of Twitch.tv.

Also, the most important thing about any console....games. Xbox One has a great line-up of exclusives. They may not be your particular taste, but right now as far as what's been actually announced they have a stronger line-up than PS4.

Ok, I need to take a shot at the above.  I posted my comments for each game in the sections next to it.

NO WAY does a non-Kinect bundled system get released because Kinect is what Microsoft is pushing as what it thinks as a killer feature.

Even if you remove all the issues, it is still $100 more expensive than the PS4, and not shown to be superior to justify the price point, unless you MUST have the camera.
