Nothing can save XBone. No amount of price cuts or number of exclusives can bring back their old audience and customers. There really is no worthwhile exclusives right now for Xbox one

Jesus Sony, get with the program. Are you REALLY going to let microsoft 1up you like this during the holiday season?

I'm sure a lot of people were waiting for christmas to buy it to be honest. I'm getting an Xbox One for christmas, hopefully.

Shitty I just ordered the Sunset Overdrive bundle last week.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;46343524]MCC doesn't count. It's just previous games from years past being sold again with different flare to access the content[/QUOTE] It really does count though. I know at least three people who are buying Xbox Ones exclusively for the MCC.

This true for British ones too?
Oh this is great, I also hope it applied to Canada, I'm getting one soon. I'll get the Sunset Overdrive edition, I want a White one :v: [editline]27th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Solo Wing;46343763]I think Talon is talking about how its essentially rehashed content with a new coat of paint for a different console.[/QUOTE] Halo 1 Online Multiplayer is brand new for the console, it never had online on the consoles.

I'm getting an xbone for the master chief collection (because halo has always been a big part of me) and the multiplats of games in the future (like KH3 and FF15)

It is the same price as the base console.
[QUOTE=MAspiderface;46344241]I guess you can count Bloodborne in there too, but the Souls series ain't for everybody.[/QUOTE] i only counted games coming out this year that are exclusive to the platform. Forza Horizon 2 Came out for the 360 too, but it's so downgraded compared to the XB1 version that it doesn't really count.
I won't take it away from MS that they have been doing more for their console than Sony since launch - spin it how you will. ( Not detracting from PS4 2.0, incidentally )
[QUOTE=Grizz;46344689]I won't take it away from MS that they have been doing more for their console than Sony since launch - spin it how you will. ( Not detracting from PS4 2.0, incidentally )[/QUOTE] despite ps4 2.0 update, it still won't have DLNA support and other things PS3 had at launch. Meanwhile XB1 has that and even MKV support. Xbox one also had a major update at least once a month that adds features that people ask for on their feedback site ( [URL]http://xbox.uservoice.com/[/URL] ). All PS4 really has to brag about is "We have better hardware and Better PR." XB1 and Wii U has beat them exclusive software/OS side.
XB1 getting MKV support blows my mind. The console had a fucking awful start thanks to that fuck Don Mattrick, but Phil Spencer is doing a really good job putting shit back together. Lots of cool new games on the way, lots of good ones out already. I play my XB1 more than my PS4.
Seeing as how this and my video card upgrade will be around the same cost, I'm honestly a little tempted but I don't think i can deal with every game being 60 bucks
I couldn't decide whether I was getting a PS4 or Xbox One, I guess this will seal the deal.
[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46343763]I think Talon is talking about how its essentially rehashed content with a new coat of paint for a different console.[/QUOTE] But that 60 fps tho
They are really desperate
[QUOTE=BCell;46342709]Nothing can save XBone. No amount of price cuts or number of exclusives can bring back their old audience and customers. There really is no worthwhile exclusives right now for Xbox one[/QUOTE] I think you're being dramatic. We're like a year into the new consoles, and things are fine. PS4 has sold a bunch of consoles due to the price and some of the bad press that was common for watercooler discussions. But even I'm considering an Xbox One and I was someone that laughed at how bad it looked.
[QUOTE=Mysterious Mr.E;46350702]They are really desperate[/QUOTE] Microsoft is doing what any business should do - they're trying to place their product competitively. Sony is leading sales by a pretty wide margin, so they're playing catch-up; and quite frankly they're playing pretty fast. Microsoft is already a (very) profitable business, and they can afford losing a bit of money on the sale itself, as they'll most likely make it back over the product lifespan. Sony can't afford the PS4 being unprofitable, really, they're already hemorrhaging money.
[QUOTE=BCell;46342709]Nothing can save XBone. No amount of price cuts or number of exclusives can bring back their old audience and customers. There really is no worthwhile exclusives right now for Xbox one[/QUOTE] As a primarily Playstation user, Sunset Overdrive looks pretty damn amazing.
[QUOTE=J!NX;46344145]console exclusives are dumb and generally not that interesting to me[/QUOTE] Exclusives are necessary because otherwise the consoles would all be the same.
