When Crackdown 3 comes out I will more than likely buy one. A new city sounds great!

I was an avid Xbox 360 gamer for quite some time I'll have you know xD Sunk way too much time into the damn thing, assuming I get some time during the semester I'll be collecting all of the orbs yet again to sate my thirst for arbitrary fetch quests.

shudders at the thought of people abbreviating it "Xboner"
But seriously. I actually do have an Xbox gamertag these days (basically inherited it when Microsoft took over Hotmail all those years ago), but no XBox. It's the one console in the race whose exclusives I see no interest in.
Except that Blue Dragon JRPG, but I've watched LPs of it from start to finish so I guess I'm good.
I agree. Sounds like when you bump into a ex mate/wife/flame and then suddenly... you get a xboner :V

Xbox one has actual games on it that you can't get on a PC?
PS4 and PC are the kings and queens here where Wii U sits at their side as the prince. Xbone is for the lowly peasants who were misguided in their journey to greatness by indulging the dilusions spawned by a wicked witch sent down to them by Queen PC.
But seriously, what DOES xbone have now that makes it worth it aside from Sunset Overdrive that I can't just pick up on the PC or PS4? Their exclusives suck. That's why there are no threads made for it.
Rare Replay is them digging in the closet to pull out SOMETHING to try to save that fonsole, and thats a fact. Oh, and master chief collection for those that still like Halo (which is a lesser Destiny).
Take that load of croc snark and smoke it.

Oh we have an edgy PS4 fanboy in the house, looks like someone is full of croc :V
Destiny IS Halo with a LOT of grinding, and grinding, and grinding.

The Game
I have an Xbox one , although I pretty much only use it for halo , oh and I'm waiting for fable legends. Besides that theres pretty much no other point for my Xbox , cod's over rated , Fifa's terrible. You can get those on steam anyway ( I'd never waste my money on them though :/ )

Some people say Nintendo has been just-a-friend zoned while they make out with Microsoft and then go elope with Sony.

The main problem with the XBox one is that this system absolutely doesn't exist in Asia, so there's almost no Japanese games there.
In Japan, the only people owning a 360 were fighting games players for tournaments, because Capcom games run slow on PS3 and Microsoft actually agrees to lend 360s for free for events (when it wasn't taking place on Arcade, at least).
The 360 never sold well so less and less Japanese companies bothered making multiplatform games, and at some point, just gave up with it.
I'm sure some Japanese people aren't even aware of the XBox one in Japan, in a similar way that people aren't aware that the PSVita exists in Europe (and maybe in America ?).
So if some player doesn't care about (or enjoy) anime/jrpgs/dungeons RPGs/other asian content, he'll be fine with an Xbox. If not, he'll definitely need a PS4 over a One to play most of the non-mainstream-Japanese games that are a huge part of the gaming market.
That's how I see things and how I'd explain why the One doesn't sell as well as the PS4. Doesn't mean that's the main reason why though.

Uh, my favorite of the three is the Wii U. :l
I'm just taking a look at the reality of the situation and logically laying them out there, since not many have the 1k to spend on all three systems. The PS4 is the smarter buy of the two. Or PC. Ain't nothing edgy about the truth.
I love the Wii U. You cant play games like Splatoon or Smash Bros anywhere else. I agree that the PS4 is the better buy at the moment. But honestly right now, I would rather play games on my PC

Well, i think i should have waited a bit more, i just wasted 200 dollars on a Xbox 360, also ,what is the difference between the Xbox one and the 360?.
Google is an amazing thing

support is ending for the 360 by the end of 2016. You could always return it if the store you bought it from has a return policy

@rocKe: the xbone can be controlled with your voice and they are making a few games exclusively on it that you cannot play on xbox360. Whoop hoop~~
I wouldnt buy anything new generation atm anyway. Mayyyyyybe a wiiu. But it had one of the worst launches I've ever seen. It was an embarrassment really.
I'm not familiar with that show, so that joke flew right by my head.
Oh my Arceus! I want to play that
