Blockbuster games. Big exclusives. Windows 10 crossplay and an enviable backwards compatibility service. Get off the fence. Now is the time to buy an Xbox One, says Matt Martin.
 

It’s been easy to knock the Xbox One since its disastrous unveiling way back when, but the joke is long since over. Microsoft cemented it last week at Gamescom: you should really own an Xbox One if you give a hoot about high-quality console gaming.

In the immediate future there’s a hot line-up for Xmas; the long-anticipated Halo 5: Guardians and another helping of Forza will please the faithful. They both contain the highest production values you can buy with a Microsoft blank cheque. But the bigger hit could be the exclusive-to-console-for-a-year Rise of the Tomb Raider, bringing back that classic video game adventure and exploration, wrapped in a budget to make Midas wince. You shouldn’t wait to buy new Tomb Raider on a different format a year later. We’ll have all moved on. Get that gold while you can. This is why you play triple-A.

That triple threat kicks off over a year of visible exclusives that rolls into 2016 with Quantum Break, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, another season of Killer Instinct, Recore, Gears of Wars 4, Crackdown 3 and Halo Wars 2. A list as fit as a butcher’s dog.

 

 

 

Xbox One is rolling like thunder right now, finally confident with a clear direction. It’s games line-up is enviable, its services solid and tempting, its basic hardware pricing accessible for newcomers. Xbox One has distinguished itself from the competition. It’s time to buy into the Microsoft dream.


Thanks for posting it buddy!

It's almost the right time to buy a Xbox One but a great time to be thinking of getting one ready for the holiday bundles in 2 and half months and the games line up in the next 15 months is nothing short of amazing.



The library still isn't selling me on it. The only title I want right now is Rare Replay, and why would I spent 350+ dollars for that? In the future, perhaps, but it's not a must have for now.

Japanese titles are what sell me, and they're missing from Xbox. Don't care about the Gears, Halos, Fables, Forzas. Please new stufff.



I think it's safe to get one now. Anyone who got a PS4 because they were against the whole anti-used game thing or the push for TV... those things are over. Microsoft fired the idiot behind all of that and put a guy in place that knows that casual gaming is dead. He "gets it"...

Anyone who preferred the 360 last generation will prefer Spencer's "new" Xbox One.



For all of you saying this is a paid for Microsoft. You should check out this guys previous articles...he has done nothing but dog the Xbox for the last 2 years...

Maybe , you know he has just been impressed with what Microsoft has been doing recently in regards to Xbox.

Nope, xb1 is only going to get cheaper, the library will build up. Happy to get in 2018.
PS4 TP and FP will do until then



Can't wait to play Quantum Break, Scalebound & Halo 5!



What's wrong with the article? It's like any positive threatens for some reason damn. He's just mostly talking about what indeed seems to be a good to great lineup.

Based on the past it is never a good time to buy the XBOX One because it will likely be cheaper in a few months. Hell this Black Friday I bet it is like $200 with the bundles it will get - then sure get one.


And that's the only time when sales really count... according to Microsoft.

Legit reason actually. There are good reasons and not so good reasons to own like all systems.
