Reasons to get an XBone?

There are a few Xbox One exclusives that interest me. There isn't a single PS4 exclusive that I care about. They both look extremely average to me. I plan to ignore them both and check back in a year to see if they are able to offer me something worth caring about.
For me, the primary reason to get an Xbox One over a PS4 is that PS4 is basically just PS3 with better graphics, whereas Xbox One actually tries to do new and interesting things. Of course, "hardcore gamers" have decided that everything it is trying to do sucks, but that's their problem, not mine.VG_Addict said:
That said, I'm most likely getting both consoles.
You get the Xbone for the exclusives, or for what all your friends are getting.
You get the PS4 for the exclusives, the price, or for what all your friends are getting.
You get the PC for the exclusives, or for what all your friends are getting.

I'm just amazed that there are still people even considering Xbone.
I mean how many times now have Microsoft actually straight out said "Go f*** yourselves" to every single fan and potential customer by now? Just give it a month or two for everyone to forget about it.
It's strange how people still question why this industry is what it is.

Lets see, the PS4 has the ability to share footage of your game, allow other players to watch as you play and assist you (neither of which I see alot of use for but still credit where due), you can start playing while an update is downloading and installing (service on demand), eventually they will bring all PS1/2 and 3 games to the console via streaming, oh and most importantly it's a gaming console.Evonisia said:
Xbox on the other hand has TV stuff, umm American football (for yanks only ofcourse), and oh right they wanted to bend us over and fuck us with DRM. Yeah that's not innovation, thats screwing your customers over. If you want it for the exclusives then no problem their the games you like, but don't try and justify that your obsessed with microsoft IP's with "but sony doesnt innovate where as microsoft does" crap when it's bullshit. Oh and the family feature was not going to work how people thought it would.
The avatar is a sign of laziness more than fanboy status. I quite like Sony, Nintendo and PC games as well.mad825 said:
Kinect games are fun, my wife and I really enjoy the Dance Central games and the workout games we have tried (Biggest Loser) were invigorating. Also I have a three year old I want to game with (and watch game) so Kinect is perfect for kid friendly games. She just doesn't have the controller skills yet, lol.
Basically the Xbox One is perfect not just for my "hardcore" gaming desires but for my families more casual needs. Everything I desire in the PS4 is available plus Kinect instead of Move? Easy choice.
God, now I do sound like a shill. For what it's worth I am still getting myself a PS4 sometime in 2014 and once my daughter is old enough to game more traditionally she will get a Wii U for her birthday (which I will play as much as her I hope). And I can totally see how other people don't want an Xbox, without my families desires factoring in I would probably get a PS4.
sir you made me smile XDTornadoCreator said:
Ahm I don't give a shit for halo, or gears of war or, what else? ._. oh I do like "pussy ruby" but I like to watch on my t.v. the Madden things just ewww...so yeah I don't see a reason to get one of those things no matter what, will get a ps4 just not at launch, but will probably next year.
I'm pleasantly surprised at your attitude, it seems more and more people lately either treat the Xbox one as a sin against all gaming or have the attitude of a furious fanboy shilling for it. Someone who likes it and can come up with a rational argument (even if I don't share your view point) is sadly becoming rarer.Treeinthewoods said:
Personally I was seriously offended by MS's earlier attitude about the console so I probably won't be buying one anytime soon, but I did have one question. You mention not having to deal with the Elitist crowd on Xbox, (which I can very much sympathize with), but don't you find the XBLA's reputation worse? I only ask because you mentioned it as being a good system for your daughter, but considering the reputation for how girls are treated on the XBLA I can't imagine her being drawn to it much as she grows older.
Dunno, maybe it's gotten a better of late, but I remember it being really, really bad in my time.
Well, I am hoping the gamer community in Kinectimals 2.0 or whatever other kid games we get will be a little different from the COD crowd, lol.NWJ94 said:
When I am playing Halo 4 I often just join team games alone and I honestly don't think the community is that bad. Most people don't have public mikes on in the first place, the ones that do are usually pretty cool. Ass hats exist but it's really easy to mute them, I don't think Xbox Live is any worse than Battlenet or WoW. Your experiences may vary, I don't play too many other competitive multi player games.
As for my daughter being harassed, well that's why she is getting her own Nintendo. And years from now anyone who trolls her during a multiplayer match of Halo 7 or CoD 27 will get shot by her dad (I'm a camper for life).
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I was attempting some mild sarcasm with the "elitist" comment.
To be honest, none of the titles coming out for Xbone interest me, & even if they did, I would get the PC ports. If I was ever to get a living room console, it would have to have a library of stuff that doesn't get a PC release. If everything released for the Wii also comes out on my Nintendo 3DSXL, then my only option is the PS4.
I was strongly considering switch to the PS4 at first after years of having a 360 and loving it, I'll admit. I would have missed Halo, but the restrictions and the tempting offer of Kindom Hearts and FFXV were pretty hefty considerations. Now that both KH3 and FFXV are going multiplatform and the XB1 is not a DRM nightmare, though, I have absolutely NO reason to buy a PS4 and still many reasons to get an XB1.
Plus, the Xbox controller design is INFINITELY better than the Playstaion's.

I wonder how much the receiver device is going to cost. It's rather amusing for them to boast about a feature, then sell it separately from the actual console. Brings back memories of the early 360 and Wifi.Treeinthewoods said:
Maybe you really, REALLY like the concept of a spy-cam filling your Xbox with advertisements based on things it has heard you talking about? OO-OOOO! Maybe you just REALLY like having something that does a lot of things other stuff you own already does! Or maybe you're trying to cut back on your gaming so you want a product that considers the fact that it can play games as simply being a side-benefit?
In all fairness, if they dropped the mandatory Kinect and thus dropped the price $100, I actually would likely pick it up instead of a PS4. It's funny how they're saying they're now giving us the "choice" of offline modes with physical copies of games because that's what gamers want: choice. Yet they say "No, fuck YOU" to the thought of giving us a choice as to whether or not we want a frickin' Kinect.
