Nah. It's the X360 and it's not even close.

I think the X1 is doing that though, it has variety. Its also fair to say that X1 will trounce the 360 various genres.

Look at it this way. PS1 had unique stuff PS2 didn't have. PS2 had unique stuff PS3 didn't have. Patterns like this will continue. Even OG Xbox had notable stuff that many of us never played.

I disagree that xb1 will trounce it for the reason I mentioned before like being longer of the market.  I have no doubt is and will be a good xbox console but I feel xb360 will be the best MS console when its all said and done and I am taliking about the whole library.  Xb360 had more than enough of the popular genre as well as good support from niche title such as JRPG game.  Doubt xb1 is gonna match that.  You are free to disagree.

Again, X1 will trounce 360 in various genres, certainly not all.

JRPG support on Xbox has gone down but still exist. Either way, that's a genre that has become significantly less relevant on home consoles, period. The indie scene has more relevance than JRPGs on consoles.

Exclusive wise, that might be true, whole library, really doubt it.  Xb360 has more than enough of the popular genre which again that's due to being longer on the market.  Also the point isnt if xb1 will trounce xb360 in various genre, the point is who is the better xbox console overall and to determine that, both popular games as well as niche title have to be considered and that include JPRG games. Xb360 > xb1 in the majority of the genres.  JRPG becoming less relevant is irrelevant IMO, the point is which console has the higher chance of providing something for everyone and IMO that is xb360 right now and to be honest , dont see it changing.

I think we've gone full circle to my first response. "Depends on your preference."

We are already at a point two years in where there are many great titles avaialble on X1 but not 360. Some games on X1 were ported to 360 but are vastly inferior.

When it comes to JRPGs, 360 might have an edge. But the X1 is going to have some JRPGs as well, a few of them will have Final Fantasy in the title. Dragonscale could be a notable JRPG. Dark Souls III is coming. In my opinion MGSV does plenty to satisfy JRPG fans.

It seems MMO's and MOBA's are finding more success on X1. Those are a genres that never really found a significant audience on the 360. So again, I don't think either platform will have an objectvely better library. Even if X1 fails to please JPRG like 360 did, X1 may please audiences in genres the 360 failed at.

The first Xbox had more of an identity and stood out from the competition unlike the 360.360 only had more games total and lacked exclusives compared to the original.I never owned one,but my brother had one and it had more interesting exclusives easily though limited in catalog overall.When you add the fact that it was more reliable than it is certainly the superior where it matters.The 360 was just a poor version of the PS2 according to MS themselves.They took more risks and actually tried to establish something unique with the original Xbox.

Let leave it on "Depends on preference" after all that's how the whole thread started, someone making an opinion.  It's still too early anyway to figure out how large is the xb1 library gonna be.

Were talking quanity now? 360 will likely win in most physical releases. But a lot of it is mediocre.

No neccesarily but it can make the comparison more fair IMO.  for example, xb360 ended up with 3 mainline gears of war, at this rate we might see 2 mainline gears of war at the end of this gen.  I might be wrong but GOW 4 is bound to launched at the end of its third year.  Same with halo, we might see 2 mainline halo game but don't think xb1 is gonna match the same amount of spin off titles 360 had.  Racing genre.  Even though the amount of forza might end up equal, being longer on the market opened up the oportunity to release PGR to cover some years on the xb360 life.  I'm not sure we gonna see a PGR game this gen.  In most of the genres will be like that, xb360 had more of what xb1 is gonna end up having.

Never liked the Org Xbox. The controller was too similar to the Dreamcast which I hated. 360 is possibly my favorite console iv ever owned, its controller was a masterpiece for your hands and to this day the system still suprises me.

The Duke was crap, but the official controller that came later was much better.

Well X1 already has MCC, most of the Halo games on 360 are already better on X1. Halo 5, 6, and Wars 2 are the titles certainly coming to X1. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more as well.

Gears Ultimate is on X1 and a superior experience, perhaps the previous games will get the same treatment down the road. Gears 4, 5 and 6 could be on X1.

If they do a Forza every year there will be more Forza games on X1 than Fozra and PGR combined on the 360. There were six Forza and PGR games combined on 360. We don't need PGR, hopefully Playground games keeps making Forza games because the Horizona games are fantastic.

Again, you're focusing on quantity. What X1 is getting will be trump most of 360's library in quality.

Ultimately, I'm gonna keep my 360 and PS3 because they have some cool stuff we aren't gonna see on their successors.
