Xbox One is likely to be discontinued at some point during 2015, I have been saying this since it's reveal.


As a PS fan: No, it won't. Is this the most ridiculous post in this thread?

I don't know, is it? The times we live in, it's like moving in fast forward. One day you launch a game, the next you are  job hunting.

Uhh no!

Alot of gamers out there know xbox live is an amazing service compared to psn. Xbox live was better than psn last gen and this gen xbox live got even better. That is more of an opinion than a fact though. It can be better for some but not for others. Also not cheaper if you know where to shop. I get my xbox live gold ranging from $30 - $40 a year. 

It is clearly not better in every single way. It does have more power, that is an advantage. But power alone doesn't make a console better than the other. Some gamers out there dont care about pixels/resolution. Games are fun even if they aren't in 1080p. I want my console to do more than pretty games. This is 2014 after all so consoles should do more than just play games. 


"I've some bad news for ya, the PS4 does more than just games. and not matter what gamers are actively choosing the PS4 no matter what you say."

"Power does make a difference"

In order for sony to have everywhere they would have to outsell everyone worldwide. That is the case right now but not for long. Sony and nintendo will battle it out in japan. Sony has EU on its side. NA is microsoft's territory. Ps4 might be selling more now but that will change as soon as the new SKU rolls out and this holiday.

Change why.  PS4 its still a superiot proiduct, and X1 just lost the only thing that separated it from the PS4.  PS4 will be selling more now later and especialy in the holidays, price parity for an inferior product will not change that.

A sub PS4 priced X1 with kinetic mayyyybe could have put up a hell of a fight.  But clearly ms is not willing to eat such losses.

There is absolutly nothing at all that indicates X1 might sale anywhere near PS4 anytime soon.  No price advantage like 360 had, no Halo5 this year.

Quote me if you want, the xbox one will sell a lot this holiday.


In mainland Europe?

It will see good everywhere except for japan. 

Define "Well"

Will sell amazing in NA just like the 360. It will sell good in EU just like 360 but japan is not that good. It might outsell the 360 but its tough. 


Why will it?  I will ask the question consumers will ask:  "The PS4 is stronger, more people have it, and it has a better (And cheaper) online serrvice.  It is better in just about every imaginable way, so why would I get the other one that has a worse track record?

Uhh no!

No  sh*t sherlock.  So whatever lets just pretend the online services are even for arguments sake.  Then you say that power isn't everything.  Ok so what else does the Xbox One have.  

-Bluetooth?  This is a big deal as it allows for a ton of cheap and varied accessories. 

-Sixaxis?

-Lightbar?

-Trackpad?

-Small?

-Upgradable internal drive?

-Free games that actually have value?

-Recharge while playing without being nickel and dimed to fix a controller that is 2 generations behind.

Nope to all of those.  The only thing you can mention is more rumble.  So really how would you sell me on the Xbox One?  I am litterally asking for your sales pitch.

No they aren't no matter how much you deny it. Xbox live is miles better IMO. 

Sixaxis was DOA. Just another gimmick that never worked out good. How many games had this? Plus it was a gimmick stolen from a console back in the 90's....just in case if you didn't knew. 

Lightbar.....that is so old school. 

Trackpad.....another gimmick that has been done before.

Xbox one has external harddrive support. 

Xbox one also has free games. 

Controller that is 2 gens behind? Troll much? 

Let me tell you something. Xbox one offers most of those except for a trackpad. It uses infrared lights to track the controller instead of a lightbar. The xbox controller has some great feel and is very responsive and it uses wifi direct. It also comes with a dual band wifi signal....the only next gen console to have one. It works great with wifi. It is also getting free games each month. Its getting better games now since its a rental service now. 1st party studios are there so exclusive games are coming. Xbox live is equipped with 300,000lk servers for your online games so you are backed up. Kinect is just an option if you want those extra features. You can connect up to 16TB of external HDD for your needs. (up to 2) There is much more to xbox than what you think but you probably dont see it or dont want to see it. Anyways have a great day! E3 will be a blast!
