Xbox One

Seems like all the latest info on the next Xbox is a lot of talk about everything but the games. I paid attention to the first info for PS4 and at least Sony puts up the appearance of having their priorities straight - that the 'main course' of a GAMING console, is, uhhhh… the games. Almost none of the new info about the next Xbox is interesting to me at this point - I just don't care about all the non-gaming hoopla about the machine.

Well they supposedly have 15 exclusive games only on the Xbox One. You will have to wait till E3 in June to find out more. Three have been revealed already.

Sadly for me I have no interest after the reveal due to Microsoft's decisions and policy's for the next system.

I'll most likely be doing the same thing I did for the last two console generations. - Wait for the prices to drop a bit and then buy a Playstation.

I never saw a reason to own an Xbox or Xbox 360 if you have a decent gaming PC. The majority of premier titles always get released for PC and are usually superior to the Xbox versions.

On the other hand, the Playstation consoles always seem to have just enough interesting exclusives to make me want to purchase them.

There's also conflicting information on whether or not this new iteration of the XBox will support freely redistributable used games. There's talk that simply lending a game to a friend will require a licensing fee to be paid on their part…

If there was ever a time to get into consoles, it isn't now in the case of the XBox.

I'm the exact opposite, I have zero interest in the games for consoles. I will probably buy an xbox or ps4 but it will be strictly a bluray player and media server. So which ever 1 has the better hoopla will be for me.

I should clearify, the better hoopla for FREE. If I have to buy an xbox live gold membership to use all these features then i'll go the ps4 route for sure.

I think many people will have to accept were not part of the demographic their aiming for. I know it hurts but it's the truth. It wont be the first time a company decides this.

Getting older sucks.

Well said and very true. Applies to software just as much as hardware, too.

It's simple, really.

If the platform offers good games I can't otherwise have access to, I'll get it. If not, I won't.
