Forums - Microsoft - So yeah, im going to have to apologize to my friend for talking her into buying an Xbox One

Yep....E3 did it. She was right and I was wrong. She was speculating since last year that Microsoft would put scalebound and a bunch of other games onto Windows 10. Shes a big PC gamer, but she was always talking to be about upcoming games. I ensured her that the initiative would just be for choice games and not the high to mid tier level games all at once. Well...this E3 proved me wrong. Im sure shes about ready to throw her Xbox One out the door now and just stick with her PC and PS4. LOL Damn...I feel bad.

If you own a gaming PC with a decent setup, you can attach it to your tv and you dont need to pay for online privalidges you feel completely raped by microsoft yesterday. All tough them releasing their games on more platforms is generally a consumer friendly thing its the way you communicate things.

It would have been much smarter to say, starting with all games launched on the scorpio, because then you know what you are buying into.

you are right you should apologize that $300 was better spent on a pc upgrade. Maybe give your friend a gift or something, because upi ensured her about something you couldn't have known for sure.

I understand tough, you love your xbox one and want to sell a friend something you love, it just doesnt always work out :)

When did you convince her of buying one? They announced months ago that all future games would be W10 and XBO...

When scalebound was first revealed it was not known that all future games would be W10 and XBO. LOL....The console is now useless to her. Shes not a fan of Microsofts first party, but she does like the some of the third party they buy.



*giggle*

That sucks.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I think I should give her a gift. You're right. Freaking Microsoft. Actually no, its not that I love my Xbox One. Shes had a pessimistic attitude about the Xbox brand and reliability with exclusives and Iwanted to show her that all of the consoles have their special games that they keep to themself. So far Microsoft only has Halo to their name now. I was going to get the elite controller, but im better off helping her sell off her Xbox One to make it up to her and getting her something for her troubles out of my on pocket.

that seems like the best idea, you feel bad she probly feels bad and lets be honest if you fix it like this it will strengthen your friendship! :)
I'm sorry Microsoft dropped a bomb in a wrong way, I think what they are doing is quite noble the way they are doing it is to rushed, however

It's gonna be so good to play Scalebound, Recore, Forza Horison 3, Halo Wars 2 and Halo 5 on PC with better graphics and save the money from not buying an XBox.

I am saving up for a rig. By the time I get that the Scorpio will be useless to me, but the free XBox One games are useful, so Ill just fill up my HDD with old Xbox One games and just use it as a 360. Hahaha
